Thanks Malamute :)

Boy, that Ironcladminiatures Steam Tanks page could very well be my Christmas wishlist.... :)


And the best news he has a steam walker out this week, (not yet on the website) a monitor, more tanks coming soon, a Nautilus style sub and a range of 28mm figs to go with them. :)  :)

The walker is really nice. I saw it at Crisis, but didn´t really have a use for it, so I skipped on that one in favour of SCW armour.

Nicey  :)  8)  8)  8)  :o
Are these ready for the just-declared War of 1881?


Yes they are, and I already have another two on the painting table at present, plus hoping to pick up a steam walker or two at the Reading show tomorrow :)

Nick - I saw the walker today at Readng today, but resisted the temptation to buy one - so with luck it will still be there for you on Sunday

However, I did buy the 3-wheeled steam carriage - which will be converted to something completely different to support my Home Service troops.

Also looking forward to Ironclad releasing their amphibious tank in the new Year. This will hopefully be perfect for my US marines.

Yes I picked up the walker and very nice it is too :)

I also have the trhee wheeled carriage, not sure what to use it for other than a htree wheeled armoured carriage :)

John Lowen of Ironclad was telling me he has another six tanks planned for next year including  a troop carrier, a rocket launcher with launcher figure dressed in long leather coat and goggles, another walker with six legs, a Nautilus sub and a range of figures.All good news :)

The spare turrets that he sells look very appealing.

I changed my mind about what I will be using it for when I realised how similar the hull was to my German Kriegswagen:


I will turn the original 3-wheel maxim-armed carriage into a 4-wheel gatling-armed carriage suitable for supporting 1880's Prussians (as a light armoured support vehicle that might (just) be transportable by a zeppelin). I am assembling it and modifying the turret with greenstuff tonight. Will post photo later this week.

If I like the finished vehicle I may rework the armament on my Kriegswagen to replace its maxims with gatlings too.

Hi Karl, yes it was good to put a face to the avatar :lol:  I was quite restrained and only purchased from Ironclad Miniatures. I seem to have most of what I need already, but am tempted by the Eureka flying Prussians :)
Your Aztecs are quite stunning it is a great display you guys have put on.I enjoyed seeing it again after Salute. :)
