New Steam Tank with Mark II Faraday Cannon

[Colonel O Truth]

Hi All.

Working on a new steam tank the last couple of days - what do you think?

I'm hoping to finish this pretty quickly - lots of other stuff on the go...

More as it takes shape.

All the Best!

Looking good so far.

Needs rivets - lots of 'em!

[Colonel O Truth]

You have my word - many, many rivets! I Promise.

Rivets is what I do best...

[The_Beast]

Okay, I'll admit it BEFORE hand instead, don't like it, no hope at all.

Which is what I thought with early days of just about every other WIP of yours, and now you'll be able to cackle in delight over my cowering form when I'm forced to compliment the heck out of it, later.

PS It was sarcasm; we all KNOW how riveted it will be.

Nicework so far. I look forward to seeing it finished.

[Colonel O Truth]

Thanks, Doug - I'll make a point of earning plenty of your humble praise! 

Working on my cackle...

Mattblackgod - I hope to be finished quite soon. I eagerly await your approval, Sir!

Yet more wacky and stunning scratchbuild skills. 
Can i ask, is the turret the right way around? I assume the cylinder shape is the boiler, or should I let the magic unfold and keep my trap shut...... 
Look forward to seeing this finished.

Should let the man speak for hisself, of course, but from the piccies on his blog, I'm under the impression it's open at the front. Sonic anti-troop weapong?

Not a clue, but assumed I'd be seeing more of the 'unexpected' as time goes on.

However, I'd not think he'd have swept forward stacks...

[Colonel O Truth]

Well, yes... the boiler is at the front - a scary point, as several have pointed out. I wanted a 'train' look to this thing.

Keep watching. I have my reasons. 

Thanks for the encouragement, gents!

Oh God - you're building a land train.

Love it.

You have to have a small flyer launch pad car. It's a moral imperative.

Hmmm... Yes - I've read Amtrak Wars too, but no - that's not really what I had in mind.

Dammit! Why can't I start a small, simple project without you guys inspiring me to make it bigger, better and more complicated?!

Oh, for a simple life...

[Melnibonean]

I just had my downlights seen to by an electrician. Seems I have plenty of those Farady Cannon dishes on hand. Maybe...

[Colonel O Truth]

More detail and the first 193 rivets now...



Now I have side-mounted Faraday Flux Projectors! Mwah ha ha!

I hate flux projectors! They project flux all over the place, which is the Devil to get up.

Fiendish!
