Terrain- Citroen Traction Avant

Citroen Saloon Car

Once I had completed enough terrain and buildings to start playing Bolt Action in a satisfactory way, I turned my attention to buying/ making/ painting some of the 'clutter' that fills up our surroundings and makes it feel lived in. Rubbish, debris, odds and ends left lying around, these are all important things that add interest to a gaming table and make playing a game more enjoyable- and they're fun to paint and build!

I'd had my eye on some burned out and destroyed civilian vehicles for a while, but hadn't come across many. I loved the look of the Rubicon Models Citroen Traction Avant, but it is quite an expensive kit, and I had trouble getting hold of one online. I liked the look of a Traction Avant, so looked for an alternative I could get my hands on. Meanwhile, I looked at possible paint schemes online and found this one that I liked.


So here is the resin Citroen Traction Avant produced by Anyscale Models. It's surprisingly pristine for a vehicle that has lasted until the final stages of WW2- no bullet holes or damage (or vanished after being commandeered by the occupying forces). Hopefully, I will source some other pieces that I can flatten, burn out and generally abuse to look like they've been through bombings and firefights and, well, war...
