[WWI] SS River Clyde/Ships This List etc.

[Douglas Anderson]

Indeed they would make outstanding models. I don't know about you but I have noticed myself moving away from just plain models, now I look for photographs and try and capture the photograph in 3-d. This is true for everything that I model, except my very large models.The thought of a diorama telling a story, capturing a moment in history really turns me on.

Actually, I have Scale Link's RR Armoured Car on my
wish list. Just picked up an excellent history on
British armour in the Great War, titled "The Devil's
Chariot's." It includes some photos of Samson's Naval
Brigade vehicles, including an armoured lorry mounting
a 3 pounder QF gun. The text notes that lively recoil
caused the eyepiece of the sighting telescope to
blacken the gunlayer's eye! These - including the
Lanchester armoured car - would make wonderful
modeling subjects!
