For those of us who are into 6mm there are a few versions of it out there, GHQ, Heroics & Ros, Irregular Miniatures, no idea of quality but probably in line with the rest of their respective ranges. ;)

Nothing sufficient quantities of rivets can't cure? Super as in Super Science? If I could find it in 1/48-1/35 and none too dear, I could give it a go.

Post by: former user on 05 April 2011, 07:36:58 PM: no question this design looks terrific and imressive, and that it could fit into a VSF background, but
what exactly is the vsf-ness of it?
the large calibre?

btw, the GW Basilisk is a combination of this and Big Bertha

It's a pity they're not for the likes of us. If only Daddy hadn't bought that Spanish striker for his Premiership football team we might be able to afford some.
