much ado about nothing: US Marines

Hello all, it has been quite a while since I wrote for this blog. You may remember my previous posts regarding my 28mm WW1 project. As a rekindling of that same project, I received a Lanchester armoured car from 1st Corps Miniatures as a gift from my father, Dave. I recently finished this lovely and slightly silly model, so I thought I would share the results.

As you can see, the armoured car has two turret weapons. On opposite sides of the turret it has a Hotchkiss heavy machine gun and 37mm cannon. In order to switch between the two the turret would need to be rotated through 180 degrees. Silly indeed!

I painted the vehicle in the colours (battleship grey!) of the RNAS (Royal Naval Air Service) who operated a large number of armoured cars on the Western Front during WW1. All I need to complete this model are RNAS decals and British rondel.

Since I already had the photobooth set up, I took some photos of various miniatures from my WW1 collection. They are all Old Glory, with the exception of my Canadian command staff who are Great War Miniatures.
