Title: [WIP] RCW trains , Armored Trains & Improvised AT (UpDt 16th Jan 2018)
Post by: Byblos on October 26, 2017, 03:24:47 PM: Hi !

I'm working on some trains for RCW ...

The base are toy trains ...

And now :

(Inspired from Czech's Orlik)

I don't know why but , i would like to call him "Dalek" lol

(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/tb310.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1921)

The MG turret is a Brigade Game one ...

An MG car :

(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/mg10.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1916)

(Maybe a little too big i must admit , but this will be ok ...)

Other stuff and other pictures :

(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/mg__fl10.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1917)
(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/ensemb10.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1918)
(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/ensemb12.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1920)
(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/ensemb11.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1919)

The rivets are MicroMark and Archer (MicroMark are excellent but you need Microscale MicroSet and MicroSol to apply them correctly)

Otherwise it's card & paper and some detailing parts ...

I have 3 or 4 steam locomotive and a dozen of cars in progress (Among them another artillery car , and some passengers cars) and the tracks (I will ballast glue them on cards , add ballast , and paint ...)

To be continued ... :)

Title: Armored steam locomotive
Post by: Byblos on November 13, 2017, 02:25:43 PM: Hi !

I made an armored steam locomotive ...

The KitBashed loco :

Rivets by GrandtLine (More than 300 !) , Rivets plates by Tichy Group

With a black coat :

(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/loco_610.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1948)

With an Artillery wagon and a flat (Later i will add a second Artillery wagon) :

(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/ensemb15.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1951)

With troops :

(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/troupe10.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1954)

The locomotive is a bit too big but when it will be painted with painted minies on a tabletop this will be OK i think !

The inspiration is an Polish armored locomotive (1919)

(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/tb_pol10.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1958)

I will later make a second one :

(Marked 1940 but used during the RCW in Finland & North Russia)

(https://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/09/54/58/sk310.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/13095458/1959)

I will add a second artillery wagon , a second flat , and 2+ more wagons ...

There is still a lot of work needed : adding of some rivets , painting , painting of some officers and gun / mg crews , flags , weathering and ... the rail tracks !

Flags and markings will be movables , i could choose between White , Red , or why not german trains , etc ...

The heavy gun come from a British cruiser , i think , and it's a 4.7" (120mm) (It's a Virtual ArmChair General model)

The steam engine come from the toy train , it's slightly modified , and it's a 130 (260 in American system) one , a "Mogul"

The nex step will be the gun's crews and officers ...
