Nice - shame about the price, but I suppose it IS rather big.

Hahahahaha!  The cup of the carpenter is an optional extra. 

Seriously though, I think if you are only ever going to buy one tank in your life (as if!). This is it.

That's nice, could they modify it into a real version of the International Tank (with all the MGs) so I could use in a VACV (Very American Civil War).

Why not just take the Vickers Independent?

It really is a quite fantastic model.

Can't wait to see one painted up.

Well done on the sculpting.

Actually, looking at Copplestones latest releases, my thoughts went to the Ian McKellen version of Richard III that reputedly led to the VBCW gaming trend.

Why? Well, I was drawn to the figure of Henry V and wondered how he might look as the tank commander.... VBHYW perhaps?

Because there are 100 setting around in storage in the US in the early 30's

That tank is only a bit sexy because it's had some exposure. That aside, I find it a pig.

You're swooning over Indiana Jones memorabilia and *I* am the one in the midst of a midlife crisis?  >:D

(sorry to interrupt your midlife crisis in progress  ;)Hammers, but....)

I was wondering where I could obtain the "official" Setting the East Ablaze stats for this.

Rumor has the Beast of Bhukara has acquired something like this and plans on fielding it soon
