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