Cool! Very WW1, aside from the funnel, of course...
Can models be placed inside? How many?

[colwald]

For models, i can place 5 or 6 figures inside the tank.

My inspiration is a book of a french illustrator : Albert Robida. "La guerre de railway" in "La guerre au vingtième siècle- 1883".

Very nice.
Where do the vehicles come from ?

All posts up to this moment are excellent. very good job, indeed!

I have the same question:

Where did you get those model cars?

Where do the vehicles come from ?

The green truck on the right is from the Disney Atlantis toy line. :-)

The steam tank looks nice, with a clean camouflage. But how do they manage to fire the prow mounted gun without being obstructed by the funnel?
But that's just me and apart fom this, this is a charming tank. Keep it up!  

The yellow Ford is from a collectors series which cover some of the vehicles from the Tintin comics. They've started with this Ford for € 3,90, and they offered the rest of the vehicles for €19,90 each, if you are willing to subscribe...
This is how I've got my little Ford...

I assume you've straightened the axles a little bit to make it look less comical.

I love it; mostly because it looks like a train engine.  And I also really like that Tintin car.  Perfect scale, huh? They have a nice little armored car in that series I'd love to get my hands on.

Very nicely done, as is your gunboat.  However, may I suggest (for both) to make them look a little less "clean" by weathering and applying some super-details (rivets, handles perhaps and some more (smaller) hatches or stuff to enhaunce the 3D effect)?  IMHO this will make (what is now) a very nice model into a little masterpiece.

very cool models.

I like this! You've done a very good job with "low-tech" materials.

However, to me it looks more like part of an armoured train, rather than a landship. Nothing wrong with your original intention for it, of course, but I'd love to see it as part of a VSF train, complete with all sorts of exotic weaponry, troop-carrying compartments, etc.
