Great work Curtis. This will make a great command car for my Prussian army (alongside your spider tank).


Had a feeling you'd say that  ;)

Great work Chris.

That is kinda nice. It may make an appearance on Mars at this rate.

Are the driver and commander figures seperate, Curtis? i.e. could they be swapped out for other minis? 

Not that there's anything wrong with them, I just had an idea of it as an ancient, rather baroque piece of alien technology. With fish-headed drivers.

Excellent really!
It really captures the essence of VSF. Big , clunky, over engineered
Good to see all the gears and cogs showing.

The only thing I dont like are the drill bits at the front otherwise it is going to go on a shopping list for the new year.

Bring on more of the same.

Oh by the way is it 28mm scale?

Cheers

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

28mm ish, Id say. The driver is 28mm, so yes, but he is quite short. I mean yes, but id say "for use with "heroic" 28-30mm gaming." 

As for the drills, Dewbakuk has expressed his displeasure at the use of drills as a weapon. However, I stand firm in my desision. Great big whirly drills! I tried working out ideas for other powered weaponry, but really the drill seemed to work the best.

At that price I am more than tempted. There seems to be great conversion potential in this kit... o_o

Great work Curtis. This will make a great command car for my Prussian army (alongside your spider tank).

Change of plan. Looking closer at this vehicle, it will work better with the small British home service force I am working on (since I already have impervious suits with brass lion faces on the armour). Admiral Leopold will be used separately in a command car for my Prussians (vehicle design still to be decided).

The only thing I will definately change is the drill bits - might be replaced with a pair of flamethrowers or headlights.

Dave

BTW : Curtis - you really do need to update the front page of your website, as it is still announcing the spider tank as a 'new release'.
