28mm Painted Victorian Sci-Fi Tanks and Armoured Cars, adding to the Great Painters collection and.......

.....pimping Edwin!

Some nice pieces of resin and metal from Ironclad Miniatures for the Victorian (Steampunk and Pulp also) warfare shenanigans, two different forces............

28mm Copplestone figure for scale purposes........















Curt "Norse God" Campbell over at Analogue Hobbies has painted me a little piece of wargaming joy for my collection for something I did for him a while back and I've got to say it's cracking!



.........and Edwin over at Thoughts of a Depressive Diplomatist is having a competition and giving away books (which he also sells) but no picking the book on the Khyber Rifles as that's going to be mine!

    Very nice stuff! I like steampunk. The crew from Analouge Hobbies looks great. That is intended an eye catcher in your collection.

    Nice work Fran, are they recent paints or are they from when we had a job we enjoyed?

    Great work, Fran!
    Those ironbeasts look really devastating.

    But when do we see you play a game with those Victorian beauties who prepared lately?

    Cheers

    General! Your attack tactics are impeccable: You drive full force into the face of the enemy with hellashish loud armor garbed in garish blue and green. Hail Franonia!

    There's so much cross-over between VSF, Steampunk and Pulp, it confuses me. Nicely painted Fran!

    I did see that posted on Curt's page and think they are most excellent.

      Technically all the same to me, figures can cross over for some of them but I'm probably wrong.

    I am so looking forward to seeing the Ray play with these in Posties Shed! (Ok that might not actually ever happen, a nice chap young Ray but not his cup of tea I would think . Still his loss). Thanks for putting the copplestone in for scale it makes it easier to judge the size of them. As always nicely painted.

    Best of luck with that book. I shall pop over to the blog in question and comment to that effect.

    Fran, those tanks are the sh*t! I really like the brass bracing on the gatling gun barrels. I'm thinking I need a few of these as additions to my Quar collection. Dashing over to Ironclad now...

    These models are very nice, and your painting work is perfect for them; "retro", I think.

    Man, you'd need a ton of firepower to puncture through that skin.

    Though, you'd think they'd cover the smoke/steamstack a bit better. One unlucky grenade and...
