A place to share my thoughts on miniature wargaming, reviews of rules and miniatures, and comments on board and card games, RPGs (and anything else that takes my fancy!)

Workbench: Renegade WW1 British 18pdr
Just finished assembling my 28mm early WW1 British 18 pounder from Renegade:

It's a nice clean casting with virtually no flash at all and assembly was relatively straightforward.
Sloppy Jalopy Austin Armoured Car (the parts)
Here's the next vehicle on the assembly line, the Austin armoured car from Sloppy Jalopy:

As you can see the main body is in resin with the balance being white metal parts. The resin casting isn't as detailed as white metal or the resin vehicles I have from Force of Arms for example. In addition, there are no preformed holes for the various parts like the mudguards, something the Force of Arms vehicles did have. Whilst an assembly guide was provided it isn't entirely obvious where some of the parts should be fixed (or how given the lack of holes) and the side guard and step have only a small flat area for gluing which may not make for a strong bond.
I report back once I have assembled it.

Workbench Update
I thought I'd just post a few pictures of what I'm currently working on. They're mostly vehicles I picked up at Salute from Anglian and Force of Arms but I'm also trying to convert a Matchbox Crossley die cast.
