Ironclads WIP -Last one
« on: May 16, 2009, 05:09:48 PM »
I have under construction the mightiest cannon ever to leave England's shores. I needed something to pull it across the veldt and the sand. Here is the tug.


It is (surprise, surprise!) a toy locomotive. Well the boiler anyway, which I mounted on tracks from a Disney Atlantis toy. The cab is plastic card. I have added some more tubes to make it 'vintage'.



It is undercoated but will eventually be a resplendent green. This is not the cannon, just its much smaller cousin. The real deal is quite large.

No! Please don't. It's addictive. You have your whole life ahead of you.
Land Ironclads are not the answer.

It can't be any worse than aeronefs.
