Title: Dystopian Legions. An Alternative Option Of Pulp Vehicles.
Post by: Prof. Dinglebat. Phd. on 01 July 2014, 11:52:08 AM
28mm. Oh so pulpy. (You can picture these on the front cover of Strange Tales) Perfect for small numbered armies.

Here's some samples, (There are several others) have a look and decide for yourselves.  ;)

I have the Brittania Land Tank with St. Pauls Cathedral on the top.....had the same idea as you....but the scale is wrong, need to get some of those big boys perhaps.

I like the German tankette. It looks like someone dropped an armored structure on top of a tracked agricultural tractor.

They are a bit expensive.

Stalk the world wide listings on EBay...if your very quiet,..one will appear eventually. Then you ambush it from your watched position.  ;)

There's one on eBay at the moment but it's in Australia:

Ironclad (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dystopian-Legions-by-Spartan-Games-Ironclad-Federated-States-of-America-/301090478849?pt=AU_Miniatures&hash=item461a641b01)

I agree, they do look VSF but they give me ideas for making a more simplified 20's or 30's machine, something like this would be nice.........

Snappy closest you will get to that would be to convert a plastic kit or use/convert Ironclad Miniatures Steamtanks.

The small ones don't look like they are steam powered at all, more like some kind of internal combustion engine.

I agree, these could be interwar tankettes - and especially the japanese sphere tank

There's a guy here who has scratch-built a 1/18 Indiana Jones tank! Nearly 2 feet long! I couldn't even begin to start on something like that!  :o

Scroll down the page a bit...............

A model of this tank already exists, Copplestones 'The Beast', not the cheapest, but a good mini.

I knew there was a reason why I started this post. Thanks to this link, I am now fighting a buying war on three fronts. This one, Bob Murch and EBay. I hope the conflict never ends.  lol
