Pulp? Isn't that sort of '30ies Russian tank useful for the Winter war or the Soviet-Japanese war?

It's German, a Neubaufahrzeug, that we'll be releasing just wondering if this might fit into the 30's as that's when this was actually built.

I’m not into either one off these but, with a little work, I think that some people could use it for Pulp (maybe even without changing anything) and for VSF by adding some small detail like rivets, etc.

Ha! Ha! The modern VSFer's creed: Add rivets and whether it be an M1 Abrams or the Death Star, it's suddenly Victorian!  lol lol lol



Sorry. But that cracks me up. That thing looks about as Victorian as an iPod.

Well I didn’t say it was to everyone’s taste…  ;)

Have to side with Plynkes on this one, VSF, Hell no, but Pulp, Hell yeah and a whuppin´! An evil "early timeline" Nazi Supertank if we ever saw one!

I'm thinking it would look great painted in sand colours, trundling around the Middle East somewhere, while an American professor wearing a leather jacket and a hat chases it on a horse and shoots comic-book Nazis off of it with his revolver, before jumping aboard for a fist fight with the Officer.

And it does look much more 1930s than the thing they used in "Last Crusade" (though of course, that belonged to Alexei Sayle's little Republic or Sultanate or whatever it was, so it was fitting that it might be a bit behind the times).

Yes, it would work for Pulp as the tank actually existed in the Pulp era.

By the way, are the little turrets the same as on a Panzer I? They have that look about them.

One in tan for Africa, one in white for the Antarctic and one in panzer grey because you will get a discount if you buy three  ;)

Jeff -

This vehicle is great news. I've been writing a supplement for a rules system that covers the campaigns of 1940, and I had hoped somebody would end up doing them (unfortunately this one is 28mm, so can't use it for my larger scale games, but I'm sure I'm going to grab one or two for skirmish scale stuff).

I do think this would work well for Pulp, as it is definitely a product of the 1930s. Could be used for a variety of things, and I think it'd make some interesting opposition for the "Indiana Jones" version of the Mark V that is currently available in resin.

As for VSF, I agree with the opinion here. No way. Lines are too clean, style is too functional, even for the Prussians. This is definitely a Post-WW1 creation.

Great work! Can't wait to see this bad boy when it's cast up.

Exactly what I plan to use it for so - yes!
