Thank you all for the kind comments! :D

It's my first dabble with VSF stuff and I think that the bug has bitten! I Picked up a copy of the very cool "Valor, Steel and Flesh" rules by Parroom Station and I am thinking of doing some Russians complete with Czar in his personal Assault Walker! It's either that or a renegade group of scientists bent on World domination.......

Fritzy; I had a few reservations about the colour ( a cream coloured tank..?) but you were bang on with your choice! Glad you like it mate, I'll see if I can pick you up a driver/commander figure this week.

Malamute; ......ah, I do believe Fritzy is intending to do some Prussians led by the infamous "Fritz Von Bakerheim" and his "Trundling Circus" so Sir Henry Bullshot may have some re-inforcements to his dastardly army!!!

Thanks again for the comments!

Ohh Lordy, thats all we need another Prussian sympathiser. lol

Good luck with your Russian idea. It sounds very cool, I am sure given what you have done with Weird War 11, anything you designa nd build with VSF in mind will look stunning. Can't wait to see progress reports and photos ;D

Good to see there are more Prussian reinforcements coming.

Russians too! I must get back to my Russians soon - but they may be delayed by the army of the Grand Turk (since Nickinsomerset's Greeks will need some opposition). I spent lunchtime at work today sketching out
a design for an armoured steam 'elephant' ....

Not even slightly intimidated.

Malamute & Thunderchicken Industries are turning out British reinforcements and armour at a furious rate. Okay, furious might be a slight exaggeration. Being British the furious rate is accompanied by numerous tea breaks, early finishes on a Friday (dress down day too), an overtime ban, lots of bank holidays and the ubiquitous cucumber sandwiches.  :)

Dress down day Certainly not! What the deuce is the world coming too? We will continue to wear our starched collars and ties, thick wool trousers, serge tunics and the obvious top hat even though the temperature here in Blighty has topped a balmy 24 degrees C in the last few days... lol

Hi,
   You're right it is one from Ironclad miniatures, and they are excellent quality. They don't need cleaning up and I've had really clean casts( no air bubbles) and they paint up well, When done by an expert. I'm building a garage for this one as we speak.

  Cheers

  Fritzy
