Thanks for all the kind replies.

Crikey! It looks like a VSF version of the "Bolo" Continental Seige Unit!  :o

Very nice, work, sir!  :-*

Very nice, but the gun crews on the exposed weapons will be in for a rough time.

Ahhh... You miss the point of the design. In true French style: It's Big, Bombastisc, Eye Candy... Heavily Armoured, Slow and Totaly Undergunned. Crew protection? Bah!!!!!

Whoa!!    :o

I stop visiting the site for a couple of days and look what happens!
Looks like a mighty opponent to face my Dauntless landship.

I picked up a couple of those same trains from a "Chinese shop" as you call it a few weeks ago and was waiting for the right inspiration, Great work.

Of course being a French landship it will no doubt have four reverse gears and one forward gear.... in case they are attacked from the rear  :D

Cheers
Fuzzy.
Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Finally... I have finally painted up some crew for the th Marshal Ney. They are made from th left over foot dragoons from the Perry plastic Napoleonic dragoons box (sans weapons).

They look the part and will match the "Fire Dragoons" that I'm working on (aka: the rest of the Perry plastics).
Hope you like.

Cheers:

Too bad what looks like a short hop twixt thee and Colonel O' Truth is really thousands of kilometers. These beasts should really meet!

After the table receives suitable bracing, of course.  :o

Looking at the helmets, am I the only one thinking Fire Brigade?  lol
