Title: Steam Powered Self Propelled Artillery 1880 Style
Post by: Captain Darling on 06 November 2014, 04:50:02 AM

Hi All,

Link the steam powered armoured wagon with the trusty 13 inch mortar and you get some pretty powerful self propelled artillery...those pesky Martian Tripods better watch out :D ...

A sort of surreal 1880's SturmTiger I suppose...

Cheers

Nice work. I assume they're manned by the engineers themselves?

Brutes indeed - appropriate that they look cast iron.  Puts me in mind of some the American Civil War equipment (the giant mortars, the Monitor, etc.)
