Proportions of the gun and car look good. Nice work. Country: USA | Posts: 24339 mabloodhound Fireman Posted - 02/24/2014 :  09:56:12 AM     Nice build Ron. Just don't forget to keep that gun barrel back and not overhang the end when you glue it down.

I've seen the Warhammer stuff but the price tag on the tanks are quite high here, but is does get you some neat big guns. Ahh thats what bits sites are for - you can pick up the tank cannons etc for a a few dollars and as that's all you'd need it saves you from getting a kit you'd never use. quote: Originally posted by jbvb I had heard the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch had an armoured (British, after all) train during WWII, but I'd never seen a picture. I wonder if they'll ever build a replica... They did a few years ago, even used the same loco and trucks, looked quite neat.

Dave, thanks for the reminder. Ross, all we need now is pictures of the armored train.

It looks a bit like a 5" or 7" scale, "Park Train" type. I can see how the poor bloke turned his fighter plane, into a Messaschitt!! LOL!!!

The gundola has been moved to a secure area and security guards with dogs are patrolling then grounds with order to shoot first, ask questions later. Worked on the secondary armament last night. I bought some 1:35 scale WW1 Hungarian machine guns and assembled one last night. While a great looking model it's too big for the car. After I positioned the main gun in the car and added the gunner I have about a third of the car is left to mount some machine guns. I'll look at what I have for 1:48 scale machine guns tonight.

Ron, I have some 1/48 maxim guns if you need a couple. Country: USA | Posts: 11958 elwoodblues Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/25/2014 :  12:03:23 PM         Great bribe the guards and the dogs Larry have a picture of the Maxin guns, might just take you up on your offer if what I have doesn't work.

A strategic redeployment can then be utilized with a smokescreen where necessary. Remember Sun Tzu: "All warfare is deception." Truer words were never spoken. Arthur Country: USA | Posts: 5866 Pacbelt Fireman Posted - 02/27/2014 :  11:05:32 AM       You're gonna have to take it underground..... Got any good caves?? Country: USA | Posts: 1073 mabloodhound Fireman Posted - 04/03/2014 :  09:20:52 AM     Happened across this photo last night and thought of your build. Perhaps the gun is a bit too large, though. Country: USA | Posts: 6703 elwoodblues Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/03/2014 :  09:34:13 AM         No such thing as too Large Dave. Nice photo.

If the train hauling that car ever stalled, they could just fire the cannon to get it started! Holy cow, one round from that monster would take out my whole village... Ron, never have truer words been written...
