WWI Wheels Across the Desert (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

WAD-01 Rolls Royce Armoured Car was delivered to me yesterday. Really excited about the Wheels Across the Desert WWI sub-range. I decided to take some photos of it this afternoon displayed on a desert diorama base I made several years ago for my K&C Crusaders/Saracens. The base will be perfect for the Hedjaz Armoured Car Section and figures.

Nothing better when you can resurrect a previous item to fit upcoming releases. Makes the collecting even more exciting. Look forward to seeing this dio as it continues to build thanks to John. Robin.

Real beauty that you've setup there, Mike. Bet you're looking forward to more releases of figure sets. Come to think of it, these could be the desert commandos that I've been asking for (elsewhere)!:wink2:

Thanks Mike. This dio base has always been one of my favorites also. It is so versatile for so many historic time periods.

Thanks Robin. I have resurrected this diorama board for a number of historic periods. Its one of my favorite "go to" dios for anything "Desert" . . . .

Thanks Mark . . . . I am really looking forward to adding the second armoured car plus the other figures. I wonder if John is going to expand the Wheels Across the Desrt sub-range beyond just the Hedjaz Armoured Car section . . . .

Thank you Moe . . . . . the desert commando "feel" for Wheels Across the Desert is what attracted me to tis WWI sub-range. John has really out done himself again . . . . Just when you think it couldn't get any better . . .

Brad

Thank you Brad . . . . the figure of Captain Randy is really very well done. Looking forward to the release of fellow comrades in desert garb . . . .

Thank you Chris . . . . I have always enjoyed making desert dioramas . . . . too bad that this venue doesn't fit in with the ACW . . . .
