I really like this guy:

And the No. 5 Prussian tank.

Did you make those?

Can't tell about the first, but Panzer Fünf (why do I want to put a P in there?) has a base made from a toy Atlantis tank. Really first rate work, eh?

Edit: I was just checking, and the 'tank' was known as 'The Bridge'.

Answers:
1. The "Jaguar" is a Rail Wars velocipede. I chopped off the cowboy hats and made pickelhaubes. Like the Rokkittruppen the Jaguar has a checkered history. It rarely survives the first round or so. But is he does, it tends to reek a lot of havoc.
2. The Clockwork tank is indeed, like many of my home made vehicles, based from Atlantis toys. It has a terrible design flaw. I may only fire to the sides, and not directly ahead.

Beast, by the 30th, I assume you mean RECRUITS. Don't know what I'll bring to put on. I take suggestions.

What was the basis of those French Turtle tanks?

[BaronVonJ]

THose are straight outta the box models. Don't know who has the molds anymore. Thought GZG had picked them up, but couldn't find them on their website.

Only place I know of that still sells it is Eureka in Oz.

I think they are sold in Europe from Fighting 15's, but quite expensive.

I bought mine from GZG years ago and according to the link supplied by Jonas, they're still making them. Might be worth dropping them an email.

[Jonas]

No, my link is to Fighting 15s  GZG doesn't have anymore, I bought the last two they had in stock and that is 4 years ago now

Yep, I checked with Jon at GZG a few months back.  He no longer has the facility to produce resin vehicles and the molds for that particular model weren't sold with the rest of their 28mm SciFi range.

He was open to the idea of bringing that particular tank model back into production somehow, given enough demand.  So it's well worth dropping him a line expressing an interest.  The metal Eureka version is WAY overpriced IMO.  Seventeen quid will get you a Heavy Landship from Ironclad, Black Pyramid or even Scheltrum.

If that's the Hardlove Light Steam Charger, Eureka still sells them. You can get one from either Australia or USA.
