The real VSF ...?

[Admiral Benbow]

You can see this at the Athens War Museum:



Some more technical infos on the original site:

I searched the net already for more infos about that very nice device, but couldn't find anything. I'm very suspicious about the description "KRUPP SCHUMANN Germany Model 1894", as I never heard about a Krupp Schumann factory or consortium.

So, is that a fake? 

All infos from the specialists here are very welcome (as this great design will be on my modeling list very soon  ).

   Unknown as to real or fake but it's great none the less. I may have to make 1 or 2 myself.

Cheers

Nice photo.

We have discussed some about this weapon in the following link:

Hope you will get some more infos

[Admiral Benbow]

Ah, that was fast, argsilverson! Thank you very much!

It's a Fahrpanzer (which I never heard of before ...), and all info can be found here:

Ah Admiral Benbow!
I wish I had one or two.
IFor VSF I would prefer it not horse drawn but pedal driven, like bicycle or so.

Hi,

by the way:

These two were captured by the Greeks in the 2nd balkan war (1913). they were used by the Bulgarian forces who abndoned them during the defeat.
I do not think that they were much of use.

Admiral, I can't wait to see them in the photos, I donot know whether it is easy to reach skull island.

An addition:

Just now I received my first batch of my painted Greeks (tiger miniatures balkan wars Greeks). They will go very well with these guns!!!

No time to learn how to post photos. I am leaving with my daughter to London early in the morning, perhaps next week!

It's a German "Fahrpanzer"; there is one in the Brussels War Museum too.  I have had two pics on my site for years, as well as plans to make a few 28mm ones...:

Probably like this?   

[Skrapwelder]

It reminds me of a beautiful spherical Prussian steam tank that was on the boards quite a while ago. I found the post but the pictures are no longer linked.
