A recent interest of mine has been the Arab revolt (1936-1939) in British Mandate Palestine. So when I saw an inexpensive ($16) Rolls Royce armored car on eBay I purchased it. It’s a three D printed vehicle and it was rough. After looking at period photographs I decided I would paint it in the colors of the 11th Hussar, which were deployed to Palestine during the revolt. I scratch built the base, which is rough, but adequate. The two olive trees are made by Noch.
I commission Bruce at R4a to make five soldiers of the 11 Hussars. I am delighted with them. Sorry for the poor quality photographs.

They look great, especially in situ. I order a copy cat set, and I can’t wait to receive them!
 
Hi Sandor,
You will not be disappointed. At some point I need to revisit the Rolls Royce armored car and possibly repaint the basal course of the terrace wall.
Cheers,
Benjamin
