Introducing the Marshal Ney! (it finally has a crew: p.5)

[Mister Rab]

I say, that's superb! 

[Melnibonean]

Thanks for all the kind replies.

Steve F: "... if it's in French service, shouldn't the name plaque read "Maréchal Ney?"
Ummmm...

[Traveler Man]

Crikey! It looks like a VSF version of the "Bolo" Continental Seige Unit! 

Very nice, work, sir! 

[mysteriousbill]

Very nice, but the gun crews on the exposed weapons will be in for a rough time.

[Chairface]

Brutal looking contraption, I like it.

That sums it up nicely! Brutal.

[Melnibonean]

Very nice, but the gun crews on the exposed weapons will be in for a rough time.

Ahhh... You miss the point of the design. In true French style: It's Big, Bombastisc, Eye Candy... Heavily Armoured, Slow and Totaly Undergunned. Crew protection? Bah!!!!!
Gloire dans la mort !

Whoa!!   

I stop visiting the site for a couple of days and look what happens!
Looks like a mighty opponent to face my Dauntless landship.

I picked up a couple of those same trains from a "Chinese shop" as you call it a few weeks ago and was waiting for the right inspiration, Great work.

Of course being a French landship it will no doubt have four reverse gears and one forward gear.... in case they are attacked from the rear 

Cheers

What a great odea.  Very Wild Wild West looking.............. 

[gamer Mac]

Lovely stuff
Very VSF...ish

[Melnibonean]

Finally... I have finally painted up some crew for the th Marshal Ney. They are made from th left over foot dragoons from the Perry plastic Napoleonic dragoons box (sans weapons).

They look the part and will match the "Fire Dragoons" that I'm working on (aka: the rest of the Perry plastics).
Hope you like.

Cheers:

Bloody marvellous!

 

[Jonas]

Looks great. What a beast!

[The_Beast]

Too bad what looks like a short hop twixt thee and Colonel O' Truth is really thousands of kilometers. These beasts should really meet!

After the table receives suitable bracing, of course. 

Looking at the helmets, am I the only one thinking Fire Brigade?

Nice selection of crew for a wonderful contraption!
