Trying to source a steam tank HELP !

Pretty nice, I hope their website will be working better soon.

Quite nice, but I think I prefer the Ironclad offerings.
They do offer sponsons, boilers and stoker kits which could be useful for conversions though

Sorry Jonas I can type before I think sometimes, nor can I spell  -they also now carry the Design 28s range as well as their own line of multipart Victorian Brits.
As for Hardlove Tank I remember ordering at least three from GZG and one from Fighting 15s way back- one is (poorly) painted one another put together and the others I have no idea where I put them.

I ordered the last 2 steamtanks from GZG

Ironclad are of course very nice.  Sizewise, the only one of the range close to the GZG tank is Steam 1: Small Scout Tank. I have one of the £9.50 armoured cars and they're about 50% bigger than the GZG tank.

The Black Pyramid steamtanks are also very nice.  Despite the names the Medium and Large landships are both very large compared to the Ironclad models.  I have some pics on my blog, the first from when they were previewed at Britcon, showing off all the possible add-ons that were planned.  The second is from my review of when I actually got hold of the basic models for myself.

Hands on review

Since writing the above review, I've bought several packs of their add-ons and fitted the heavy landship with side-mounted gun sponsons and as suggested in the review, they really make the model come alive.

I'd recommend them if you're looking for a heavy, slab sided landship, but certainly not if you're looking to match the cuteness of the GZG/Eureka tank.

Just a thought how about Warlords new Vickers Utility tractor? add a gun and a smoke stack?  I've ordered one.

The second two of the steam tanks pictured above have got potential as troop carriers for me. I'd put smaller guns on them and have them as heavily armoured hulks lumbering across the battlefield to deliver troops wherever needed. Naturally they would have their vulnerabilities. Hmmmmmmm...........
