War Machine

Okay, folks! Here's a Royal Navy contraption that didn't seem to get much press at the time...

While you're there, take a look at some of the other stuff in the galleries.  There are some very talented people in this weird world!

Splendidly implausible and just begging to be made in 28mm!

Thanks for sharing.

By the way, I now have AC/DC's track of the same name playing on continuous loop in my head.

Not a bad thing  lol

Gadzooks!!!

That's an amazing machine!

I agree - splendidly implausible and screaming to be sculpted in 28mm!

Thanks for posting the link!

Thanks for the link, your Lordship. Those are fantastic and, although it pains me as a Pom to admit it, there's an awful lot of modelling talent down there in Oz  ;)

It wouldn't take much for those models to be "VSF" rather than "Ork" machines.

Very true Gluteus, puts some of the Yankee inginuity to shame as well. ::) Would have been grand to see some the King's Rifles manning the machines or even some of the thin red line. Maybe one of you fine VSF engineers on this board could have a go at it. My skills are nowhere near trying something like that. :?
