the first parts of Microdesign etchings. They are nice but a bit on the thin side.

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
22

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 replaced some of the rivets with Masterclub rivets and bolts. Making the elastic springs on the Lewis gun ring wasn't easy

The Meng wheels vs the Roden. For me the latter is a clear winner
30

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.

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

The base fore the Irish diorama. Éire Go Deo means Ireland forever (Gealic). Most political pamflets are from the 1930s
61

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 😉

Excellent work 👍
IMO, Photos could be better 🤔

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.

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.

Album info

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
