Lovely stuff, Especially the Walker. It has a real "built by eccentric Victorian inventor in his private workshop" sort of look to it :love: 8) :lol:
I do like the way you use the camera to gain a "worm's eye view" of large or tall models.
Her Majesty [Gaud bless 'er!] must sleep well at night, knowing she has such marvels to guard her

The walker looks very much like an attempt at imitating Martian War Machines - Ilike it :) :)
The bathtub tank is my favourite, though. God save HM! :) :) 8) 8)

Lovely ,M.

Bah! The Prussians will quickly learn that the walker sports a machine gun only and it has a limited fire arc. Soon, they'll be swarming up the legs and riding atop the monstrosity to victory! :D

Umm do we have a Prussian sympathiser in our midst I wonder :?: :lol:

Very nice - as we always expect.

SHould have followed that whole diatribe with "What?"
Just playing Her Majesty's trusted cavalry general who feels all these new fangled contraptions are no match for a good cavalry charge. :lol:
-
The general has been overhead, and a telegram despatched.
The Junkers are ready.

Nice machines. 8)

Very Heath Robinson! I really like this project, keep it up!
-
All very nice these contraptions but no panache and where is the glory of the charge, Guidon flapping in the wind, thud thud of horse hooves and the joy of mucking out and smelling of horse p**!
I think I may have to order some of those!
Tally Ho!

Indeed I secretly agree with you, but you can't stop progress :lol: It will be interesting to see how the Prussian Cuirassiers and Uhlans square up to these at the battle of Kew 8)

The first Regiment of Curassiers will ride around in a heroic manner waving their swords about and talking about invading Poland etc, the 2nd Regt are now equipped with steam tanks!
Tally Ho!

Meanwhile I have just ordered one of the walkers, and another small steam tank, wonderful thing this internet!

Meanwhile the 1st Regiment of Dragoons have just been re-equipped as torpedo lancers - armed with spar-torpedo lances. They will heroically charge any wheeled or tracked vehicles they see, while other dastardly inventions like the Killer Kan will attempt to saw the legs of British walkers :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

"Look I says to 'is Lord high and mighty, I din't join the infantry to go digging 'oles all over the battlefield. And do ya know what ee says to me? Ee says - You'll be glad of all dese 'oles you've dug when one of dem walkers goes and sticks it's foot in one, won't ya?"

Look here, good sir! I find it highly improbable that an officer in Her Majesty's (God Bless Her!) Army would speak in such a deplorably low manner, even to a private soldier! Harumph!
Besides all that, ever since I invented the Greyson Patent Vibro-mine - another fine product from XCIV Laboratories - the giant walker has been a threat of the past. Why, merely stepping within a twenty yard radius of a Vibro-mine would spell certain doom for the offending leg, and then the walker topples. The walker topples over, and sets off another detonation, destroying the main portion with ease.
Holes indeed! Harumph!

Not an officer but a mere corporal
