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. ![](https://i.ibb.co/P6BJmts/20220911-175808.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/L6LmtTy/20220911-175819.jpg)

Don't see many of these being done, and even rarer in Irish setup ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

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. ![](https://i.ibb.co/TcCt24J/20221014-192858.jpg)

Tacked together for a sense of the finished job. Still quite a bit of detail to be sorted, but getting there ![](https://i.ibb.co/sCb9xtK/20221014-193838.jpg)

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. ![](https://i.ibb.co/2dFqQ72/20221031-181641.jpg) 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. ![](https://i.ibb.co/FHbgwVB/20221101-074525.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/kQh6zzP/20221101-074615.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/5W2LwVP/20221101-074643.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/cF6qmFH/20221101-074721.jpg) Home straight in sight.
