Bertrand and I have plans for a game based on part of the 1916 Verdun campaign. To keep the French supplied we have picked up a few of these rather fine Corgi 1/43 scale diecast Renault lorries. Originally bearing various commercial logos, mine have all been sprayed a similar shade of grey to that on the Berliet in the Verdun museum. I’m sure the barrels on the one at the back are essential military supplies....

Those clean up very nicely Tim. Dare I comment that this is far a more homogenous transport pool than normally seen chez Gow. And yes the barrels are essential - I believe that Henry VIII had a mutiny on one of his French excursions due to a shortage of such barrels.
Those look lovely Tim. Rather clean for WW1 but I guess that is the toy soldier aesthetic you are going for.
Cheers,
Pete.
Interesting ...
Fair play to you mate, those look fantastic!
Merry Xmas to you and everyone who reads your blog. :O)

How dare you imply that my other vehicles are a load of old crap! That was our secret!

Such is the joy of garden wargaming that they’ll soon suffer real damage and be covered in real muck!

More news when it’s warm and dry enough for an outdoor game.

Thanks - back at you!
Tim, heavens no I view it as an eclectic collection of motor vehicle history which rivals the museum at Beaulieu!
