Armoured Cars

Built:  March 2012

Requiring some  pseudo-historical vehicles for my mish-mashed Colonial/VSF forces, i decided to scratch-bash some quick models, using Balsa wood.

The E-V/4 Panzerkraftwagen Ehrhardt fit the bill, so I made a sketch, figured out what balsa wood shapes I could purchase (angled wedge like pieces were very handy for this project - as well as a variable of square & rectangular stock).

For the rather fast pace I made these, I was pleased.  They aren't as detailed as I'd like, and cutting perfect angles with soft balsa wood is a challenge - but suitable enough for a wargame, but not a good example of model making.

They are in need of a more detailed paint job, but even just a solid grey colour made them look formidable on the table.

One note:  these had a large crew, and were able to simultaneously fire most of the MGs shown at the same time!
