ICM MODEL T 1917 LCP, of the National Army , Irish Free State, circa 1921/22. Represents a vehicle handed over to New Free State Army from RIC/ Army stock post treaty. Hull engine and load bed tacked together. Other sub assemblies mostly done so hopefully the construction phase will be finished shortly. Minimal , if any, weathering planned. Colour is AK Gen 3 Dark US Green.   |

Don't see many of these being done, and even rarer in Irish setup  |

A bit of a base thingy. Picky frame, polystyrene and a bit of polyfila. More to do particularly around making it look a bit werrer, but my rendition of a damp, muddy Irish road, Autumn ish time.  |

Tacked together for a sense of the finished job. Still quite a bit of detail to be sorted, but getting there  |

Getting close to finishing. The Lewis gun needs a bit of a drybrilushing and then it will be pigment time. I'm also waiting for a couple of appropriate figures to arrive to bring it all together.  stowage in the back courtesy of spares box (Tamiya -I think) and Value Gear tarps. |

Thank you very much. Last night I managed to get a start on the pigments mostly a natural umber with a hint of natual sienna applied dry and fixed with sand and gravel fixer. Wheels will need a slurry treatment to bring them into the look and I'll add some Wet look to the stuff on the running boards and fenders.     Home straight in sight. |
