Lanchester Armored car
Hi All
I thought I would share a mini diorama I made for a friend's 67th birthday. He loves the movie Lawrence of Arabia which we saw as kids back in the sixties and has seen it many times since.
In the movie, there is a great scene where General Allenby tells Lawrence that he wants hims to be part of his big push on Damascus. An exhausted Lawrence replies "I don't want to be part of your big push!"
The diorama I created is supposed to evoke that scene even though what I made is not actually accurate. The movie scene took place in a room, not outside and the armored car actually shown in another scene in the movie was a Rolls Royce, not a Lanchester.
However, this Fiddlers Green model is very effective in portraying the spirit of the object and the situation as opposed to a very accurate replication. Thats why I like them. I used the figures that came with the model and added the quote, putting everything in a small acrylic case. I hope my friend likes it.
