Old 40K Squat Land Train

[The_Beast]

Awhile ago, I'd mentioned a friend (Thanks, Mark!) built for me a Squat Land Train decades ago. Having gotten the 'No pictures? Didn't happen.' line, I finally dug it out and had a friend snapped a few. (Thanks, Sean!)



All from 1/35 scale German WWII model kits, with various GW gubbins. At the head, a converted Maus, of course, and the rest are German armored railroad cars. Oh, and not sure about the scale on the V2 (Classic 1/69?).

I don't wish to impose on the good Prof TOO much, but if there's interest, I can post any individual model a bit closer.

Holy crap Doug. That's amazing!  More pictures please!

[Mr Papafakis]

Please post more pictures! This is so RT it hurts

[Suber]

  Of course we want more!!

That is so much fun, thanks for sharing! Squat passengers...?

Sorry, the night I took it down to the store, didn't have any with me, so when I get more shots up, it'll be with a current SM for size comparison.

Too bad; when a friend borrowed my lads, he added some Beaky conversions I thought worked rather well (Thanks, Randy!)...

By the way, I do believe the land train has been in battle once, though mostly as shooty terrain. Obviously takes up a lot of geography on a table. 

On the night piccies were taken, he was present to offer to 'VSF it up.' Someone beat me to 'it's already plenty VSF!'

Great looking model!

That's a proper Alten Schule land train if I ever saw one! 

I would like to see more!


I assume the bases go with a set of terrain boards in the same colour?

You may assume what  you wish...

Actually, we had some army-style blankets that were close-to-a-colour-match, at the time.

I think by the time we got the one or two games in, we also had similar colored hill/rock pieces.

I'll try and get the other images to a manageable size, and maybe delete others in gallery for some space, tomorrow.

I don't think so.  That baby needs some Squats!
 

[The_Beast]

Now, lad...

Baby HAS Squats. You just get to see... wait for it... squat!

Now look here, I hate to have to refer you to the OP but the land train pics are there because you were accused of scurrilously making false claims as to owning aforementioned land train.

Therefore and towhit (or many twits) your claims of having Squats are also yet to be proven.

Ergo

Pics or they didn't happen either  . 

[The_Beast]

Finally! The proverbial other shoe!

Damn, I wondering how long I'd have to wait on that!

Nice. I still have a pair of Army blankets (one brown, one green) that I use for grassland and forest layouts.  Maybe not as nice as a hi res printed mat, but the texture is great and they look as nice as a plain grass mat. Once you pile on the terrain, no one's looking at the mat anyway!
