Title: Looking for a small land ironclad / tank / armoured car
Post by: AndrewBeasley on November 02, 2013, 01:00:50 PM
Afternoon,

I'm hunting for a small Land Ironclad for a 'portable war-games' (http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~warden/portable_wargame/index.html) style game.  In this case the size is more key than scale within reason as the original game ideas do not care about scale:

The Brigade 2mm are too small as the largest one I have is around 3cm long (the Sovereign class Ironclad (http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/LandIronclads/Great%20Britain/VLI-101.html)) and the tanks are way too small...

The Ironclad Minis ones are the correct style Steam 4 (http://www.ironcladminiatures.co.uk/shop/article_steam04/Steam-4.html?sessid=wKo52QswheeUMNSNximXtZBmFVUuHRrJ5ceACVuRbtgVupOb18Rp9q1nK4fIRrsJ&shop_param=cid%3D10%26aid%3Dsteam04%26)

The 'perfect' car would be a heavy metal unit - 3 or 4 wheels about 2 inch long (4-5cm) and an inch or so high (3cm)

I would be happy to repaint as required but I've not seen any pre-made.

One other thought would be early WW1 tanks but again I am short of suppliers for the size

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance (and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask).

For 2 inch long WWI have you looked at Pendraken?
