I have recently finished a review of the excellent and massive 1st Corps British Anti Aircraft Truck from their World War One range. When I received this model kit I was surprised by the quality of the casting and the ease of assembly. There for I contacted the designer and asked how he approach the creation of wargame friendly vehicles. He was so kind to answer my questions, that I have added some more background on the design in the review along with pictures and comments on the assembly of this resin and white metal vehicle. Interested don't hesitate to take a look as the product is very nice and also quite useful for other interwar periods.

I have been looking at this model for some time and found your review very useful. My only question is about relative size. I bought some of the company's motor cycle sets and they were 25% bigger than all of my other cycles (all supposedly 28mm). How about posing an Artizan or Musketeer or Brigade WW1 or interwar figure along side the truck and crew. Thanks much. |

Bobgnar I have some pictures of Scarab Miniatures (28mm) alongside some of the other 1st Corps vehicles (as we stock them on our web site), here link hopefully that might help you. Our miniatures are similar in size to the ranges you mention I don't have an assembled aa truck with picture though – sorry kind regards Rob

The motorcycle is longer than the Great War Miniatures motorcycle by half a wheel,but is almost the same hight (3/4mm taller) but then its a bigger motorcycle. So many types and sizes were use that its impossible to make a one size fits all bike,
Taller and stronger men were picked were ever possible as the bike combo's were heavy and handled like a pig,hense a slightly larger rider than gunner.
The combo is built around the machine gun and has been made to be as strong as possible to survive gaming.
The vehicles are sized more or less the same as Copplestones,however some details are strenghtend to stand up to table use and aid repairs.
If you'ld like more info on scale or pictures of the vehicle let me know as I've only just joined this forum and haven't got the hang of it yet,or I could email some images if you prefer. |
