I have just finished basing a steam tank I've painted for my mate Fritzy.
It needs a pilot and a little weathering ( I'll ceck with Fritzy to see how "dirty" he wants it to be!!)
I chose a nice neutral colour scheme with a few home-made decals.

I've quite enjoyed doing this and have ordered some bits for myself.

Thats a very nice take on that model. A more unusual scheme to what we normally see.

I particularly like Brittania and the laurels on the front plate. Your imagination is to be highly commended sir.

And Fritzy - I think it looks just right already, thats a very talented mate you have

Looks great to me Fritzy. if you add more weathering there is the danger you will detract from the excellent Britannia.

Wow, very nice - grand choice of colours, the decals are brilliant, and the weathering is already perfect.

Excellent work. If that was mine it would be nurtured in reserve and protected from all those 'orrible bullets.

That looks amazing mate, even better than when I saw it on Saturday. I think we got the choice of colour just right ( close to the colour of the stained helmets they used to wear). Now you've set me the impossible task of trying to paint my others up like this one, I'll just cover my other steam tanks in miniature dust sheets, cut a slot here and there to see and fire out of and field them like that.
I'm now torn between actually using it on the battle field or building a scale building along the lines of the Crystal Palace and have it sat in there safe and sound. Bit like a victorian Bovington

Cheers

Fritzy

A few years back more like 7 when I still played a games set some were in the year 40,000. I had the petoran guard mins and I painted up my tanks in a simuler style, but, they in know way mach yours for skill and style.

Oooh, now thats rather nice

Your Country needs you Pappa Midnight and Fritzy

Men like you need to rally to the cause and help stem this Prussian invasion spearheaded by that turncoat Sir Henry Bullshott

I believe it imperative to the cause that you both journey to London to engage the enemy at one of our future skirmishes/battles, preferably bringing along some more of these beautifully painted machines
