A Rolls Royce Armoured Car in MDF by Warbases

Looking for mobile support that is not on a horse or in a tank then this is the place for you.

Rolls Royce are quoted as having said when asked 'their horsepower is "adequate"'.

As far as a 28mm model of a Rolls Royce Armoured Car goes I can say that "this one is more than adequate".

Very smart

Take care

That is a very nice model.

 

I saw this last night and I've got to say its a great blog post that you've published, Jim. Well worth reading.

Definitely 'more than adequate'. 

Much better finish than I'd have expected from a vehicle made from MDF.....Or did you do a lot of 'cleaning', Jim ?

Cheers - Phil

No, the wife doesn't let me touch the hoover.

Oh, you mean on the model.

Next to no cleaning up required. Just a little bit on the MDF where you cut the pieces free. A quick scrape with a hobby knife sorts it out. A wee bit on the card pieces too.

I didn't even prep the model before painting. Went straight onto the black acrylic basecoat.

Very smart!

That's a nice model Jim. Warbases do make some good stuff and Martin can be very helpful. A few years ago he made me a selection of his 28mm VBCW in 15mm as a special order. 

Good step by step guide and nice paint job, Jim. Impressed by the curvy bits - somehow had in my mind that mdf = flat, square, box like structures - what a good option this medium is turning out to be in the hobby.  Birthday gift (belated Happy Birthday, by the way)?   

How DO they get the curved bits out of mdf?

It's thinnish laser cut card, as per Jim's blog post

Nope, birthday gifts were a bundle of vouchers and a John Lennon (Imagine) T-shirt.

Check out the pictures. Thin card bent around MDF formers.

Turret looks resin to me!
