Cleaning House! I'm selling my entire 28mm WW1 collection! Everything must go! Even the trench boards!

Hello everyone, it's been a few months since I've posted on this blog,

As the title states, I am selling my entire 28mm First World War collection. This project has been near and dear to me since I started it several years ago. Alas, as most wargamers are wont to do, I must clean house to make room for new projects (cough-Bolt Action-cough). It makes me sad to see this beautiful collection go, as I have had many fun games with it.

Whether its been going over the top with my fellow Tommies, or creeping up the communications trench to get close enough to those dreaded tanks to use my flamethrower to save my fellow Stormtroopers, this project has always been a joy to see on the table.

With a busy professional career on the go, often being away from home for extended periods of time and having no consistent gaming group nearby, I have been forced to re-evaluate my gaming priorities.

I am hoping that these beautiful figures and terrain can bring some joy to another avid wargamer.

Below are some pictures of the figures, with links to the appropriate Ebay auctions. If you are interested in any of these items, make a bid! And if you are located in the Quebec area, let me know so we can organize local pickup or delivery.

P.S. I also have some odds and sods from around my painting bench up for sale, including various Warlord Games and Perry Miniatures models, both painted and unpainted.

Lanchester Armoured Car

Hello all, it has been quite a while since I wrote for this blog. You may remember my previous posts regarding my 28mm WW1 project. As a rekindling of that same project, I received a Lanchester armoured car from 1st Corps Miniatures as a gift from my father, Dave. I recently finished this lovely and slightly silly model, so I thought I would share the results.






As you can see, the armoured car has two turret weapons. On opposite sides of the turret it has a Hotchkiss heavy machine gun and 37mm cannon. In order to switch between the two the turret would need to be rotated through 180 degrees. Silly indeed!

I painted the vehicle in the colours (battleship grey!) of the RNAS (Royal Naval Air Service) who operated a large number of armoured cars on the Western Front during WW1. All I need to complete this model are RNAS decals and British rondel.

Since I already had the photobooth set up, I took some photos of various miniatures from my WW1 collection. They are all Old Glory, with the exception of my Canadian command staff who are Great War Miniatures.
