Hey all,

I got rather bored thisafternoon, so desided to knock somehting up out of the stuff about on my desk.

So here we have the 'HMLS as of yet unamed massive fighting machine'. (Any Ideas for names appreciated

)

Its made of 1.5 paperclips, a turet for a lee tank, some sprews, a knights helm, a copla for a 28mm tank, 2 1:72 oil barrels, some odd bits, part of a coat-hanger and some superglue.

Just for the perposes of scale, here it is with some of its 2mm scale friends.

Interesting...needs a boiler/funnel.

Looking forward with, um, interest to see it finished...

Is it that bad?

I mean, once I've taken off all the mold lines, added details, re-done that awfull fist arm thing and added a smokestack, its should look....passable..................at arms length................perhaps?

Not too bad as a work in progress, but I'd dispense with the fist/arm on the grounds that it can't actually reach anything, and it doesn't look VSF enough.
How about a harpoon mount with steam-winch ?

As for names, something like "Wotan" or "Thor" for a Prussian or "Agamemnon" for a British. Doesn't look French enough to think of a French name.

Ah, Thank you fastolfrus, I was starting to loose faith in my ability to scrabble things out of nothing.

I will redo that arm, Im not happy with it, I dont know what into yet though, are chainsaws too non-VSF for VSF?

I cant say it quite looks french eather....theres something 'not french' about it.................

Made in an afternoon, knocked out quickly, not French and made from stuff found on a desk?

Sounds Italian to me....

OK, ok...............can we settle on russian? Paint it green, and anything is russian.

Ive rebuilt the thing, I swaped the arm-y arm for a big lance (thinking its 2mm scale and the lace is 4" long.....its one big lance!) and I swapped that punny little cannon arm for a good old 1:72 88mm flack gun......thats 3".....in 2mm scale.......Its rather large.

I'll put some pictures up in the morning....later in the morning....Ive taken the pictures, but I dont want to go downstairs and dont want to have to face the stairs....

Goodmorning all

Mr.Marx
