We are a small group of table-top wargamers who get together weekly to play games which vary from Ancient/Medieval, through English Civil War, American War of Independence, American Civil War, and all things Napoleonic, plus WW2 to Sci-fi and fantasy, using scale-model armies on purpose-built terrain and scenery. We meet at Beaumont Park Visitors Centre, Beaumont Park Road, Huddersfield HD4 7AY on Monday evenings from 6.15pm. New members (over 18) are always welcome.

20mm British AEC Mk.3 Armoured Car

Couldn't find a decent 20mm AEC armoured car kit (not paying Zebrano prices) so decided to push the boat out a bit and buy the Milicast solid resin version.

For the money charged, I think the casting quality is pretty rough. Had to spend over an hour cleaning up the casting and I don't think it's that high-quality to start with. Also bought the brass barrel as I read somewhere that thin resin can be a bit fragile, and I've got clumsy sausage fingers to start with.

Hi Guy, is this a 2lb or 75mm gun? I can't remember, is the turret an old tank turret utilized from an obsolete vehicle? Anyway nicely done!

Hi Steve, this is the mk.3 version so it's a 75mm gun, like the Staghound mk.3.
