Funky Little Homecast Steamtank
« on: May 22, 2008, 12:10:22 PM »



Can be found for sale here:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180245592826

Should be suitable for most VSF games. The guy built, moulded and cast them himself, and is hoping to have a few for sale.

Discussion of the piece and plans etc is here on Frothers:

What a cheeky little thing!

I quite I'm quite taken by that  :)

Depending on the sort of price it will fetch, I might just bid for one.

I like it, although I'd like to see some figs for scale.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Looks like a cheeky chunky fellow! Almost a Steam Tonka.

I'd like to see the scale too before buying one.
Don't!

10 Euros is about right, I guess.  He would better sell'm as such with a "buy it now" (my opinion...).

@ Doomsdave, it's not mine mate, I just thought people might be interested in it.

From what the guy said on Frothers though, he will ship pretty much anywhere. (He also speaks excellent english if you want to ask him questions through eBay.)

And ask and ye shall recieve, he posted a scale shot last night:



Bigger than you think it should be isn't it?

That's sweet! :-*  ;D
Apart from the chunky wheels it looks very nice and clean. With some other wheels from my bits-box it would look great!
TANK POLO? God, how our gardener hated that game!
