Hi !
 

Last week I launched my first Copper State Model self-gunning machine, a box that I'd had for a while and which immediately interested me



It was while examining the contents with a friend that I realised how simple the model was, and having just finished one of my many projects, decided to make this little vehicle.

it's very pleasant to assemble and as there's no interior, it takes a few hours to do so:











Only additions :
- wheels from Peaks Model, which offers a special set and is the best there is at the moment in terms of finesse, and which I find more realistic than the flat PE supplied in the box;
- the machine gun and various fittings, all found in the spare box.
 

see you
Fabrice

Sorry to say, but the best wheels for Lanchester and Minerva are for sure by CSM (by us) they are just the most accurate you can get. Just compare the wheels from the boxart...
PE was never supplied with this kit, only as an accessories set

sorry edgar, but i find the peaksmodel streets really beautiful (having said that i didn't get my hands on yours).
I thought I saw PE in the box, I was wrong.
By the way, I've also started on the Minerva, which is superb.
Congratulations on your WWI armoured car range

best regard
Fabrice

You're a fast worker Fabrice, and this looks really good. The CSM armoured cars are fantastic.

Hello guys !

an update with continued weathering. I'm having a ball with this monochrome model, which needs to be shaded to avoid monotony and a toyhish look.










Just a few more details to polish up, maybe add another figure and I'll be done.

See you
Fabrice
