Fynrydhad Tractor

 So, the Fynrydhad Tractor is now painted (the driver is still to be painted).

The model was inverted and undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black.
It was then set right side up and sprayed with Army Painter Chaos Red.
This definitely appears to be a different colour to the acrylic paint.
The head lamp was painted wit Army Painter Stone Golem.
The track and the exhaust was painted with a mix of Vallejo Burnt Cadmium Red, Vallejo London Grey and Vallejo Black Grey.
The end of the exhaust was painted with a lighter shade by adding Army Painter Stone Golem.
The rail was painted with Vallejo Black Grey topped with Vallejo London Grey.
The track and exhaust were dry brushed with Citadel Ryza Rust. The exhaust was washed with Citadel Nuln Oil. The tracks were washed with Citdel Agrax Earthshade.


The turret can be traversed.

Quar Fidwogs

 The latest plastic release for This Quar's War is the diminutive Quar of Fidwog, together with two Fynrydhad light Tractors.


The box contains two identical sprues. Each sprue has six infantry and one Fynrydhad Tractor complete with the crewman (a half figure).
There are Skeytch semi automatic rifles and a Bensa Support Rifle.
The first assembled Fynrydhad tractor.
Moulding limitations are apparent on the rivets on the side plate, and there is a mould line  on the plate behid it.






Comparison with a real world tankette/carrier - the Carden-Loyd Carrier. This is the Empress model.
You can definitely see the inspiration.
