During WW1, Seabrook lorries were converted to carry a 3 pounder QF Vickers-Maxim naval gun and two Maxim machine guns. Commissioned by the Royal Navy, the armoured lorries formed part of the Royal Naval Armoured Squadrons. Their role was to provide gunfire support to the RNAS armoured cars. This model was from the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company but is not available from Empress Miniatures:
The crew are wearing khaki uniforms rather than the Royal Naval uniforms that were used in the first months of the war. Perhaps this is why the flag pole has been allowed to become corroded – not up to the usual standards of the Royal Navy! Robert |

When the navy needed land ships. You have done a great job. |

Very nicely done! But I think you made a typo by writing "but is not available from Empress Miniatures" I think you meant "now available." They are in the VBCW line, not the WW1 line -- link Who makes the crew figures? Jim |

Thanks, Jim. Yes, it should have been 'now'. The figures came with the vehicle, all in one. Robert |

Great model. Where did you get the decals for it? |

Thank you. I got the decals from Hannants in the UK. It was product code VA3279, which is the RAF and RAAF 8' serial letters and numbers. Robert |
