Rolls Royce Armoured Car
Starting with the Meng kit
Adjusting the exhaust end
Nice
Thin the thickness
Also here
the first parts of Microdesign etchings. They are nice but a bit on the thin side.
Then started with the Warslug kit who has this nifty jig for building the frame
Just to give the impression there is a steering wheel
Microdesign parts. Looks great but isn't the easiest thing to do
Warslugs exhaust
Warslug tires
Bracing for the Warslug model
Mix and matching different lights. The light bulbs are from Aliexpress (Glass pearls 4/6mm)
Stem valves
Detailing bonnet fasteners on the Meng kit
And on the Warslug kit
The Warslug kit engine. Nice
The Boys Rifle Mk1 barrel from Magic Models. For me it was a must. The outside diameter from the Meng kit is much to small. In fact on the thinnest part it's the calibre of the rifle ?
It takes some effort but the result is surely worthwhile
The dashboard for the Warslug Rolls. Not a great result, but once the body is closed up difficult to see.
DEF. Model Wheels for the Meng kit. They are just beautiful.
I didn't know the Molotow Chrome markers yet 🙁
I replaced some of the rivets with Masterclub rivets and bolts. Making the elastic springs on the Lewis gun ring wasn't easy
We are jumping to the Roden kit. Scratchbuild a few goodies
Trying to keep track of the many wheel parts from the Roden kit
Stem valves
The Meng wheels vs the Roden. For me the latter is a clear winner
Extra details for the Roden kit and using the Meng windshield armor, because the Roden one isn't correct. The slits are in the wrong position.
Scratchbuild steps for the Roden kit
And there they are again. My favorite Master Club bolt heads
The Warslug engine ready for installation
Tree different approaches to the frame, from left to right; Roden, Warslug, Meng. For me the Warslug is the most convincing
Bottom to top; Meng, Warslug, Roden
Extra MasterClub rivet and scratch build inside hatch details. Strange surface texture of the Roden kit
Meng
Warslug engine installed
Lights from the Meng kit
Parts for the Warslug searchlight
Roden lamp on the Warslug kit
They got there colored coats
The Warslug kit has the most detailed, but incorrect, interior
Starting the weathering with oil paints
Hollowing out spare tires for the Roden kit (WWI)
Start to look like something
Starting building and painting the figurines. Eleven in total. The map of this figure is hand drawn. The compass dial is from a 1:48 airplane kit
Trying to replicate a soldier of the RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary)
Underway with the Diorama bases. A few weeks ago I bought a Proxxon foam cutter and Really love to work with it 🙂
And the final results in a row. North-West France 1914 (Roden kit)
I took the foto's outside and just seeing now there is a weevil on the treestump ?
Drone view 😉
The base fore the Irish diorama. Éire Go Deo means Ireland forever (Gealic). Most political pamflets are from the 1930s
Complete base, tiles, stones and bricks are from bleu PUR foam. I have learned to appriciate this material. It's very versatile.
The Warslug kit. Irish war Belfast 1932. Thirteen Rolls Royce where handed over to the Irish National Army by the British. A Catholic woman passes with clear disgust for those Protestants. The dog has no preference 😉
North Africa Libya 1940
Both maps are hand drawn and indicate the same environment

Tini Hendriks How nice, makes you want to build one!
Rui S Excellent work 👍
IMO, Photos could be better 🤔

Lex Jassies I think you mean the first pictures Rui? I agree that these could be better. Then I'm too lazy to grab the tripod for 2 photos and shoot by hand with a high ISO value. For inside photos-hooting I really need to pursache some extra lighting.

Rui S The important thing is the high quality of your work.
I was just pointing that issues with the photos, becouse otherwise it would be perfect.
Quite enamored with the look of the Rolls Royce Armored Car decided to build one.
Question was which one, Meng, Roden or the Warslug?
And why not all three? I was able to compare the kits on the fly.
It turned out to be three very different kits. Each with their own pluses and minuses.
Final conclusion; the Warslug kit is the best kit, but with the disadvantage that only one version can be built (interbellum).
The meng kit is good and a nice build. The spoked wheels are much too coarse compared to Roden. So this became the desert version.
The Roden kit requires a little more effort but eventually builds into a nice model. And the wire wheels are very nice and finely executed. Wondering about the strange surface texture?
Here and there I did some mix and match, easily through three of the same subjects.
Here are the results
1st diorama is the Roden kit: North-West France 1914
2nd diorama is the Warslug kit: Belfast Irish Civil War 1932
3rd diorama is the Meng kit: North Africa Libya 1940
