From AlanD - Inter-War Armoured Cars for Under Construction (120 Points)

I've had a break from painting turnips this week with a group of inter-war armoured cars.


It seems like I only seem to work on my inter-war projects during the Painting Challenge, so I'm claiming these for the Under Construction bonus. I was looking back over past Challenges, and saw that I first started painting things for the German Revolution back in 2016. I added some more bits last year, and here we are again.



This beast, a Garford-Putilov, will join the Freikorps I painted in 2016.

A year or so ago I also painted a bunch of Poles for the Polish-Soviet War of 1920, and the next two armoured cars will give them a bit of punch. The diminutive Ford with its colourful camouflage was a Polish design, hastily thrown together in 1920. The Austin-Putilov is based on a well-known photo of a Red Army vehicle that was captured in May 1920. The Poles retained the original Bolshevik vehicle name, cheekily adding their own with the date of capture.




Finally, here are a couple of vehicles for the Red Army in 1920. I don't have any other figures for that particular army yet, but I'm sure that can be remedied at some point! The hal-track is an Austin Kegresse, and it's joined by a Izhorsky-Fiat. I've deliberately left it without markings so I can use it for a few different armies.


I was trying to remember who made these models. The Polish Ford and Austin-Putilov are from Company B. I think the others are from Brigade Games, but I could well be wrong.  Hope you like them! five vehicles plus the Under Construction bonus should give me 120 points for the week. Thank you Tamsin!



That's a great set of armoured cars, Alan. Good to see you return to your inter-war stuff.
