I found this today, steam powered elephant, not my period (yet) so I'm just passing it on, apologies if it's been mentioned before.

Hi, just thought you guys would be interested in this:





(I've had it for around two years so the painting isn't the best)



With a 28mm mini:





It's from a small local company (no website) called Inquisition Miniatures and is supposed to be a not40K orc walker thingo

Its solid white metal and from memory it was only about $30-$40 (ozzy dollars)

Thanks for sharing, thats an impressive piece.

Just a mention, boys, that I've got my grubby hands on one of the Stonehouse Miniatures Steam Elephants. They are definitely smallish - not massive African type elephants, nor as small as the African Forest Elephant either, somewhat in between. I hesitate to say Indian elephant sized, as I imagine those as being slightly larger, but anyway...

It's a very nice model, certainly works well with both my 25s and 28s, but again, not the massive beast you might think it to be. Very appropriate for use in Turkish or "Native" forces. I suspect that the Great Sultan of Al'Salahan will bless his armies with one, two, or three of these beasties as I revisit my old VSF stomping grounds.

By comparison with my other landships, my opinion would be that these beasties would rate as "light" or "medium" vehicles. Armament could be whatever you'd imagine it to be, as the turret has firing slits, but no barrels. Could easily be remedied, or left as is.

Again, well, worth the money. When I get my example painted up, I'll try to get some photos.

Spotted this while at Toys 'R' Us.  It has definite airship potential.  It's US$20 right now as it's new. 



You can purchasefrom their online store as well.

Doesn't really say VSF to me with that shape. Would work well for a Pulp one though.

Thought I'd add a link to this thread as many of the figures produced by Design 28 Miniatures can be used for VSF:

I don't know if they've already been mentioned, but for 15mm, you may want to look at Black Hat's Martian Empires range:

Soon to be expanded with Prussians as well.

WOW! Great martians! But... They are 18 mm? Are this ok for 15 mm figures?
By the way, thanx for helping, because I am new in large scales

By the way, my painted 2mm scale Irregular Miniatures train for Land Ironclads

[JollyBob]

No problem Fjodin. 

The Black Hat martians etc are called 18mm, but that is just Mike being honest. Most modern 15mm figures are more like 18mm anyway I am led to believe. There is a picture of how they measure up to other companies halfway down this page:

From when I asked a similar question myself a few months ago.

And that is a lovely train. Such detail on such a small model! 

[Fjodin]

Thanx for pic of 15mm! Even id Black Hat is 18 mm I am certainly going to get that GREAT Martians!

[Fjodin]

By the way what do you think about Irregular Miniatures 15 mm range? (I like their 2mm and 6mm infantry/cavalry)


2mm Cuirassiers with painted hoofs and palms on hands. (I am terrible macro photographer. For example base should be transparent...)
