Title: Tsar's second steamtank
Post by: tsar1701 on 24 November 2009, 11:01:52 PM: I'm very very late to declare my participation to the contest, but actually I have absolutly no time to spent time on the forum, because job and little baby.
Nevertheless, as I received de contest by mail, I began to bulit my second steam tank.

Here's my progression, I begin painting tomorrow.

I nearly said cute until I seen the second picture with the huge big gun :o
How about a picture with a figure for scale?

I have to put the smoke and the insigna of the army.

@Bezzo: you right, perhaps the gun is too big ... the ammo trailer is a very good idea, but now there's no "loading door" on the tank ...
As for my first tank, there's a problem of realism, I'll try to do better for the next. :)

Also the inside diameter of the cannon barrel is slightly smaller than the external, for safety I'm sure. ;)

That is some ****** awesome gun!

Will there be an ammo trailer? Can't imagine there will be many shells carried aboard.

Maybe that was the fatal* flaw that stopped the Tsar from ordering more than just the prototype ?

(*fatal to the designer)

Yes steam cannon, I was thinking it'll be the solution

Love the paint job.

On the subject of ammo storage - I would not think any opponent is going to hang around for a second shot. The first is likely to render any enemy into its component molecules.

Or that'll be antoher :)

I'll have to make a decision soon, because I'd like to write some rules for my steamtanks.
