Rolls Royce Armoured Car

Tanker's Tuesday: Rolls Royce conversion from Shouting Into The Void

Here's another conversion of Battlefront's Rolls Royce armoured car, this time to (sort of) the 1916 version, using my 3d-printed conversion set from Shapeways. I didn't do anything about the spare wheels, which should also be spoked, so I probably should add another couple of single wheels to the set. Again, I rather regret being a cheapskate and going for WSF plastic instead of high-resolution FUD resin, even more so than in my other conversion, because the WSF really didn't resolve the wheel spokes much at all, and I had to paint them in, which is not nearly as good.

Martian Miniatures by Chris' Minature Wargaming

To those of you that have been following *Rough Riders On Mars!*, first let me express my gratitude for you interest in that project. Thank you. Let me assure you that Teddy and the gang will have their hands full of intrigues and hostiles before too much longer, probably about chapter 8 or so. The idea of *Rough Riders On Mars!* came to me after I completed the initial draft of my *Edison's Conquest Of Mars* wargame rules. These rules are somewhat based on the novel by Garret P. Serviss of the same title as well as elements from numerous other sword and planet novels. Currently, ... more »

Tanker's Tuesday : Vickers Medium Mk.C

 

 

Postwar situation

After the war, the Royal Armored Corp was limited to a mere five tank battalions equipped with the heavy Mark V and Medium Mark C. The government allotted a substantial budget to a new, promising design of a heavy amphibious tank, designed by Colonel Johnson of the Tank Design Department, the Medium Mark D. However, the latter quickly proved far too ambitious and the whole project failed. No public spending was therefore allocated after this experience, but Vickers-Armstrong, already having chosen to follow its own inspiration, designed a new tank, both for internal demand and the export market. Two prototypes had already been built by 1921. The first represented a leap forward compared to wartime designs.
