The first "Lowen" steam carriage rolls off the production line....

Meanwhile the Prussians are preparing for war with this light Gattling gun armed Tankette named the Driscoles....

Yummy. Top notch.

Lovely. Quick work too, or have you just been waiting for an excuse to use them?

:love:

Maker? Or are they scratch-built?

My love of AFVs in general grows exponentially with the number of rivets - those are just off the scale

I'm thinking the first it scratch built and the second is Eureka Pax Limpopo... M'mute, am I right?

The first one is by Ironclad miniatures. They have a very nice growing range of Steamtransports available and some VSF figures coming soon too.

The second one is by Eureka minatures in their Pax Limpopo range.

Jolly Bob - They have been waiting patiently behind the scenes :wink:

Very nicely done! (I knew the lower one was a Pax Limpopo vehicle, didn't know about the other one.)

Man, they are must haves...

And the best news he has a steam walker out this week, (not yet on the website) a monitor, more tanks coming soon, a Nautilus style sub and a range of 28mm figs to go with them.

".. armed Tankette named the Driscoles.... "

Is this the model that was built in the "Lindenau Stahlwerke" Kiel ?

I think it was a u-boat prototype devised by HDW. It did not prove seaworhty, though, so they stuck wheels to it and used it as a tankette :wink:
