28mm Armored train preview
(1/5) > >>
CompanyB:
ok, to prove that I am in fact working on this beastie...here are a couple of shots of the train engine in progress. My macro lense is a bit wonky...so no, the train is not crooked!
So here is a sort of top shot showing the crappy sketch I made to use as plans!
closer shot:
Ok, please bear in mind...I am in the early stage here! only three days work thus far. Most likely, the masters will be completed in July.
The train scale is 28mm (you can see the 1 inch squares on the cutting mat) I went for a game table scale...instead of a true 1:56 scale...otherwise, this beast would basically BE the game table, plus cost a small fortune as a kit...
The first release will be the engine pictured, plus an armored flat car. So you can stick a tank or gun on it. troops, sandbags, whatever. Next releases will be various modifications of the flat car. troop car, turreted cabs, gun emplacements, etc. These might end up being just add-ons to the basic flat car...instead of whole new kits.
Train engine will be one piece cast in resin, with metal wheels, hitches, bumpers, etc. There will also be two smoke stack and water cooler options in the kit...(so you can be a little different from your buddies...)

Awesome! I've been looking forward to this.
I've seen elsewhere that you're making this for Russian Civil War. What other periods and places could I use it for? I don't know much about such things.
Thanks, Chris
