British Tube 1 (VSF)

[Dr. The Viking]

My British VSF forces will be using only vehicles made out of tubes. As any Londoner will know the conundrum goes:

"Anyone who ever went anywhere, went so at least in part by the tube"



I'm already in the process of making more tubes.

Great fun. Looking good already

Where do the batteries go?   

Seriously though, I like it, looks pretty cool!

While I resent your juxtaposition of my splendid creation with a ... I'm willing to give you that there is no obvious way of getting coal or water into it.

I think I'll add two different lids to the back and write "coal" and "water" over them.

I'm quite in doubt about what colour to paint it?

I'm leaning towards bronze or brass... but then again - that's a bit boring isn't it?

Blue is out of the question. Green too. And white is a pain in the x.

The infantry will be grey like the Sudan British.

As I said over the weekend, a dark green with red or white pin striping along the edges; if you look at a lot of late victorian, pre-war steam engines they're often a dark rich colour (green or red seem to be favourites)with a line painted in a contrasting colour just inside the edges.

if it is VSF you couldn't go wrong with black and brass trimmings.
These vehicles could easily have been made by a former locomotive builder.
