1/56 Tsar Tank BUT for VSF Gaming! Final Update Added (17/3/20)!

I've got back to my favourite gaming genre VSF. Why, a couple of unrelated things came together recently; my admiration for the ill fated Imperial Russian 'Tsar Tank' and my liking of Miniature Scenery's products...yes Miniature Scenery have produced a 1/56 scale flat pack Tsar Tank, oh yeah!
The real thing!
I won't bore you with the full story of this behemoth (a quick net search can give you that) but it turned out to be an expensive failure. I do say failure but it may not be the best word for it, in 1915 when it was built Armoured Fighting Vehicles were in there infancy and many prototypes got even less further than this so I look upon it as a step in the development of AFV's.
A picture of the kit from the Miniature scenery site...
So far I have constructed the central frame...
...and have some awesome wheels...in very VSF 'heritage' green and brass...
My initial kit review and WIP comments are on my blog...

Cheers!

When - in 70 years times, I have the space for it, it'll be the first thing on my shopping list. Very jealous. Enjoy the build.

Wow, that is, err, something.
Not sure what, but definitely something.
Nice looking model.
The Tank Museum should get some apprentices to build one, possibly not full size.

Thankyou gentlemen work on the thing continues!
Construction of this Tsar Tank kit is now virtually complete. I have followed the assembly instructions I downloaded closely and have not run into any issues so far (okay one issue but that was my brain fade kicking in! I have now stopped to allow all the glue to dry completely before I carry out painting before final assembly.
Front and rear views of the Tsar tank (with wheels resting in place) with armour cladding complete and ready for painting...
Oh and I have realised I have some 28mm WW I Germans and RCW Russians (that would make okay substitute for WW I Russians) so beside VSF use this may get a bit of alternate history WW I action! Below id a picture of the Tsar Tank meeting a German A7V and a French FT 17 (both Trenchworx kits)...
Lots of pictures of build up to this stage are on my Blog...

That's an impressive feat of neat modelmaking, Captain Darling! Where are the strings and gloops of glue?

Thanks all! This is coming along nicely!
Lovely afternoon here in Adelaide so may get the body painted up!
Fastolfrus not sure about stockists in Ol’ Blighty email Tim at the below address and ask him (it’s a flatpack item so I wouldn’t expect shipping to be outrageous)...

Thanks so much for this!
For years, I've been entranced by the madness of this beast, and could only have matched it with the tethered Austro-Hungarian observational helicopter... with the surrounding ringed fan UNDER the cockpit. No bailing out there!
