Mahou Beer Lorry
During the fighting for the Montaña Barracks in Madrid at the start of the Civil War a 155mm artillery piece was bought up by the Republican loyalists towed by a lorry from the Mahou Brewery. So as a bit of fun I repainted this Lledo dicast and printed and added some decals.
After I posted these photos a guy over on a SCW Facebook page pointed out the Mahou Cerveza Company had a different logo/poster back in the 1930s. He was kind enough to supply an image, so I printed off a set and changed my model to suit.
A clever way to avoid enemy fire (surely no-one would want to risk destroying a vehicle that may be carrying booze?). 😉

Ha, ha, ha :)
DeleteExcellent 👍 Always great to see items on the table that tell a story. Adds a great deal to the game in my opinion 👍
ReplyDeleteCheers :) Exactly what i was thinking in doing it :)
DeleteIs there a SCW game in the works?
ReplyDeleteActually I`ve written up three SCW scenarios this week :) The table however is set-up for a battle during the Rif War, which will probably be played over the weekend.
DeleteWhere's the gun from?
ReplyDeleteThis French `75 is a metal kit from SHQ Miniatures
DeleteWell done your FB SCW contact for not just pointing it out but providing a copy you could use. Give him a star award. Your restored Mahou van is very elegant in its older "livery"! CarlL
ReplyDeleteI posted a photo on the group with my thanks :) It does look the part, It will appear in an SCW scenario I have set up ready to go over the weekend.
