Attack of the Clowns (WIP)
« on: March 08, 2010, 03:45:11 PM »
I wanted a new force for VBCW, and a travelling circus seemed like a logical idea.

 ;D

Self-sufficient, travelling all around the country, often a source of news/rumours, they need to be able to protect themselves.

First up:

The Clown Cannon




Obviously not a real field-piece, it will act more like an over-sized mortar, capable of firing a variety of types of ammunition....including Captain Kev.





Still very much a WIP - will post more stuff as and when is done-ish.

I'd perhaps have gone for a more... traditional route?
Especially for VBC... One must remember it is set in Britain, where many of the circus types would have been European and more traditional!

Still, very humourous and a very well done!  lol

I remember a James Bond movie with a fight scene on a moving circus train. There are a couple of knife throwing circus preformers/spies. I think this would give you lots of inspiration. I know it is not the right period but it should still work out. Just change the nuke to some earlier secret weapon.
