British Steam Tank
« on: September 15, 2011, 10:40:14 PM »
VSF Steam tank made from PVC pipe, copper fittings, plastic toy cannon, and doll house wheels.  Got the idea from another VSF website but I can't find the link to his tutorial.

A great design. Does it include a steering tail (cannot see it from this angle)?

For further inspiration see the Russian Tzar tank - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Tank and especially this excellent model http://www.landships.freeservers.com/tsar_tank_1to35scale_model.jpg.
