Title: More Company B Armored train cars
Post by: CompanyB on August 07, 2008, 05:46:39 AM

Well, along with the new MG boxcar and single turreted car, here are a couple more scratch builds....

Right now these show what you can do with the current pieces we have, and are not "kits"  but you never know..if folks want them, we may reproduce the main pieces of these and let you all build out whatever you want.

Double turret heavy artillery car.  The turrets, MG's and gun barrels will be offered as accessories in our parts store.  Perhaps the middle armored box as well.

Standard gondola car, with the sides lowered and a nice big gun added from Tin-Soldier.

Both models are courtesy of Bruce Meyer, Company B's financial guru and game master...

Also in the planning for release...  maybe:
Horse/calvary car  (gondola with hinged side doors)
Armored Car transport car (flat car with a armored platform and ramp)

Again, these would use the same flat cars and simply be add-on sets to the current models.

Also, notice the nice commander stocking his head out from the armored hatch!!

That is one of the finest works I have seen in a long time, by far.

Hats off to you!

The cars are painted with Vallejo gunship green over dark grey primer.

The gun comes from Reveirsco   http://www.tin-soldier.com/    They do some of our metal work and John has some neat pieces stashed away deep in the depths of his website.

Brent's ditched the kids and gone off with his wife for a mental health week but will be back next week.

Too many cool things out there and not enough time to do them all. I need to retire and let my wife take care of me!
