My armored car Laffly 50 AM

[ct ertz]

I got this one from Ecardmodels.com. It is a Laffly 50 AM armored car in France about 1931. As I sometimes do,I printed in Black and white on scrap card first to try the model out. I save my spendy color ink for after my practice build. As it turns out I wish I would have done full color as it came out real good. This model is a dream to make, dispite the 1:72 scale. I would like to do a better job on the tires next time.I used a pin and a broken sewing machine neddle for the cannon and machine gun.

I like that very much. I buy two of the Russian armor cars like the Austin Pulitov for a diorama idea.

The model came out great for a trial run, and it's in my favorite scale too.

What are you using for the base? I'm assuming some sort of wood disk. I've seen it on some of your other models and it adds a nice touch.

Thanks. I do us a bit of wood, sanded and riged to hang with a couple of small pins. Pins leave smaller holes in the wall, and paper models are light enough even with a wood base.

KGL, I down loaded a few Armored cars from that Russian site you posted a link too and I am giving them a try next.

Very nice job CT. I like your idea of mounting the finished models to a wall.. I'm rapidly running out of room on my mantle. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I would like to see that. I look agaiin at my Austin armor car but the colors are not accurate and it is render in a way I can not change them. The model its resolution is poor. Perhaps I will paint the model but I do not want to do so.

Yes, the one I am doing is all white, and shrunk down to 4x6 inch index card size. But still a good build. I will get some pictures soon.
