Model T Ford 1917 LCP + Aussie


Recommended Posts

I picked this kit up at Telford last year simply because it was something different and if you've followed any of my builds previously you'll know I love building things that are different! :)

Now, since it is supposed to be an Aussie, aka Anzac vehicle, I thought these figures might work with it

In fact that bloke in the middle leaning against the side of the trench looks perfect!  I didn't do a great job of photographing the build stages, hence why I've jumped straight into RFI! So here is the finished model...

The Model T is a relatively simple build with no tricky bits, although the suspension is a bit delicate. ICM have been putting out several variation of this vehicle in 1:35 and 1:24 and I've also picked up the 1:24 Fire engine version which looks to be fun! I did enjoy building this... which is what its all about really :)

Looks great.  Mind you, that would be the smartest T in the LCP.  Most  of them looked like a rolling chassis in need of restoration.  By the time the Aussies joined the LCP they recorded some very caustic comments about the (very) used Ts  they were given!

Cheers

When I was doing some research I saw the photos of the various states these were in, however I wasn't ready to go full destruct mode on the kit just yet :) Its a great subject with lots of possible variations.

Nice build and choice of figure.

I have this kit in the stash, hopefully I can do it as much justice as you have, thanks for the inspiration to dig it out.

Cheers Dave

never realised this was your masterpiece at club night last month Andrew - I gave you first in class that night but did not hang around for the judging results - how did you get on? This particular build really caught my eye on the night.
