Title: cardboard gun carriage

I thought you railway enthusiasts might find this cardboard model curious. I made two of these for a campaign and now they are surplus to requirements, so I made a gif before I trash them.

Wow, nice stuff! Which scale otherwise I'm tempted! (and eventual shippingcosts to belgium?)

Roughly 1/48 scale. I made two of them, and a locomotive and they got used in a skirmish campaign (see here (http://brookehurst.blogspot.com/search/label/RM06%20%27Extremis%27)). Now I'm recycling them into a prototype land leviathan.

The whole train has already been converted into a mock up for a land dreadnought. Bear in mind this isn't a finished model. The model I'm planning will actually be bigger and have a main gun in a big dorsal turret.
