We’ve got ourselves a convoy ... in Tradgardistan

 Been working on some transport for our chaps in Tradgardistan. Firstly an improvised armoured car fashioned from an old embassy car with some corrugated iron attached. Secondly the Craigshire infantry have acquired a truck to save them marching-


Intelligence gathering ( or gossip from the bazaars, you choose) suggests that the Man with The Golden Gun and Sword has acquired some advisors in the form of French Army Officers supposedly on leave. We await confirmation of this...

    Tradgardmastare,

    I like the extemporised armoured car. Not quite the ‘steam boiler on the back of a lorry’ that was used in Ireland during ‘The Troubles’, but not that different in concept.

    All the best,

    Bob

    I too like the corrugated iron / cardboard improvised armoured vehicle - it reminds me a little of the (in)famous Bob Semple tank from New Zealand in WW2 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Semple_tank

    Great vehicles Tradgardmastare - go well with the Inter-War troops.

    Excellent! Looking forward to seeing these in a punitive expedition.
