Wowie!

Let's see what other stuff we can dig up.

By the way, does anybody know where that image is from? I just found it on a random image search.

I know! Cowboys, giant steam driven cannon, French heavy cavalrymen and an enigmatic, white bearded fellow. Pure, distilled VSF.

Sorry, no help at the moment, either as to origin, or anything to match that hasn't been on the forum already, but I shall begin seeking!

Here's to enigmatic, white bearded fellows! Okay, mine's only gray, but...

FYI: The missiles are hidden in the center.

Of course, I always thought the vehicle itself should be a future troopship.
