French Landship Added To Collection...

[Captain Darling]

Hi All,

I have added a French Landship to my collection, hopefully pretty Gallic looking!

Here it is with some 28mm figures...l'éclair!


There's more pictures and some blurb on my Blog...

Funny, saw this on your blog earlier, wondering when I'd be seeing it on the forum. 

Any plans for when this will see action?

Doug planning a Landships vs Martian Tripods game...I'll be fielding both my big Tripods against my fleet of 5 Landships! Let the better man...errr...or slimy green globby thing win  !!!

Alas, Eiffel was being assisted in the final write up by an American engineering student who offered to work for free for the experience, and worth every centime. He mucked up the final draft, which was quickly submitted to the appropriate committee, and by the time the smoke cleared, not even the Emperor would try 'knitting fog' against the French bureaucracy.

Cheers Chaps! Thanks for the comments!

Maspalio thanks for the feedback! My knowledge of French is minimal at best and I suspect yours is much better  ! I have seen the ships with that naming convention before in my readings, one of the biggest explosions in the Napoleonic Wars was L'Orient which I also often see as just the Orient, I'll update my post want it to sound as French as possible!

Doug I like your reasoning...I had a much feebler response and was going to say we all know in the VSF universe that The Queens English is the only language!

Non, c'est rien! (Obviously, my French is no better.)

However, my lazy-man's rationalizations have proven quite popular of late.
