Ain't this a bit small to be an ironclad? I'd call it a tank any other day,..

It’s clad in iron, isn’t it?
The original name for the tank was the 'Landship'. Interestingly, if you go to Bovington tank museum one of the earliest tanks has a plaque that reads ‘HML-S’.

OK, very well.. I'm new to VSF and thought there was a distinction between ironclads and steam tanks.

I would be up for a builders contest



Seconded!

Also, what were used to make the larger rivets on the indiana jones-based tank (I recognized it instantly, because I bought one myself to use as a guide for making a 20mm version)?  They're so uniform, they seem almost like lego pegs.
Check out THE CROGAN ADVENTURES, a historical adventure graphic novel series available from your local bookstore or comic shop (or, of course, Amazon).  I make 'em.

Not the ones on the tank part; the ones on the upper section, where the figures are standing.
