AndrewTF Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Well, I guess there's a reason we don't see a lot of Daimler armored car mods--this thing is difficult to paint! While the 3D model is pretty sophisticated, the way the BMPs fit is not, so you have to sacrifice a bit of detail to make things make visual sense. It's slow going, but it's looking pretty ok at this point. If I had more time for modding then you'd have preview shots AND the release version of the Hetzer. What I need at this point are some detail shots of a Daimler Mk II armored car. I can't turn up much info on the Web, and gawd forbid I actually go spend money on a book or something... Anyhow, anything you can do to help would be quite helpful. Scans, web links, etc would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawBroon Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Welcome on board Andrew!! That Daimler is a bitch. Now because I was soooooo glad you said you'd do it, I'd dropped mine in mid course and switched to the Archer TD which is going quite well. Resources for the Daimler off the Web are scare so I'll mail whatever I have to you. As stated, I'd rather play with yours than cry over mine... marcel.vie@wanadoo.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted December 10, 2001 Author Share Posted December 10, 2001 Yeah, Web sources are spotty at best. I've found a few ok photos of Mk I and Mk II armored cars, but some more detailed photos of the Mk II would be dandy. I found out that there's a reason the original BTS Daimler isn't very detailed...

PawBroon Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Same problem with the Humber should you want to redo mine. Some AFV and AC are just not sexy enough and it's bitch to get good material to model them... Among what I have, I got some Jean Restayn profiles. I suppose you know the quality of those. You got my mail in the previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Andrew, Do you have "The Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II"? If not, there are some limited data and photos/drawings that I could send you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Andrew, from our visit to the Imperial War Museum there are a few pictures of a desert Daimler. You can find them by using my membership number and IWM as cue for the thread title. Sorry, am on a slow connection, so I won't search now, and I am busy the next few days. If you can not find them, email me, and I send them to you post New Year. I have a dig for the pictures from Bovington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pud Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 I also tried my hand at the daimler a few months back, and it also sits on my drive. Bloody mirroring of left and right sides just makes this one a pain in the bum to do, if not damn near impossible. Best of luck and hope you can work some way around the problem.

PawBroon Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 I provided the search... Here are the pics Andreas took at the IWM Andrew: There were some other pics (rear view etc) but they are not properly linked anymore. Maybe Andreas could send those.
