1917 FWD Model B 3-ton Lorry - Roden 1/72

[VickersVandal]

This is one for my Biggles display as an aerodrome cargo hack. It differs only from the box in that I left the WD decals off.

Very straightforward kit with unusually good fit for a Roden kit. No vices at all.

I built it over 2 evenings while on beach-side vacation. Colour is a 2:1 mix of olive drab and black green which coincidentally was almost an exact match for the plastic colour. Weathering was done with sepia wash and Tamiya pastel sets.

Travel modelling setup:


Construction:




Finished product:











And for a sense of how tiny it is...



And that's the 28th and final build for 2023 done.

That's a great build of a nicely characterful WWI truck, VV.

Lovely job VV, all the better for being built in holiday!

Cute!
In a business-like, well-worn way.
Well done!

Interesting vehicle. This came out really nice to with the paint detail, especially considering how small it is.

B-but but... It's a Roden kit! How is that even possible?

Looks great to me VV. A real bare-bones early lorry.
I see you have the London bus as well - is Biggles home on leave? (I have the military version lurking in the stash.)

Well done on 28 builds ,,, and finishing with an FWD, no less !!
