Welcome to the LAF, loyal servant of the Emperor 
Nice conversion of the A7V!

Gorgeous weathering on that Rhino! Looks like it just rolled out of a news real!

[wolfgangbrooks]

Hehe, I love the tank conversion as well. What do you use it for? Or should I say as?

Hi and welcome to this lovely little corner of the web. Nice conversions by the way.

Thank you all for the nice welcome

Excellent painting and welcome aboard! Where abouts from Switzerland are you?

I love that tankette, but what would its purpose be? Surely not just for launching smoke screen?

[Luthaaren Von Tegale]

welcome Tom.
Great painting - love the terminator.
As Bako said - what do you use the tankette for/as? Is that a smoke mortar out front?

Welcome! I saw your Tankette and Terminator on Frothers but I hadn't seen that Rhino yet, it's stunning! 

[tom_aargau]

Thanks again, everybody.

The tankette is a conversion of the 1:72 Emhar kit of the German A7V WW1 tank.

Just did this because I like the A7V tank, but wanted it to look different after having building a number of them in camouflage.

Just added bits from the bits box, I guess you are right, the main weapon is a smoke screen mortar.

I didn't plan it to be used in a game (and it might not be useful as the original tankettes were not useful) 

But I guess it would work in any near future city fight scenario.

Perhaps just a piece of mobile cover for those urban battles then?
