19C - VSF French Army part 2

 Another post on the French VSF army.


This time their newest development - char de combat.

Powered by Madame Curie's newest uranium powered steam engine and designed by an up and coming engineer Monsieur Eiffel these vehicles are a combination of form and style.

All the generals of the other armies are most upset that the French have the best looking tanks.

The French char de combat pass by the fortress guns.

The future motors past the past

A formidable force for France

A close up.


Made from various bits and bods. The hulls are plastic electrical pipe end pieces, the turret is a wooden plug from Bunnings, the wheels and chassis come from (appropriately) a WW1 British tank model (that funny trench crossing bit at the back) and the rest bits of plastic card and pipe.

More to come on Infantry and Artillery.

  1. Great work Ben, these are your best scratch builds so far, good use of materials.
    BTW you must have a few WW I British tanks lying around somewhere missing their auxiliary steering wheels!

    1. Thanks Captain. You made me think about how many I have, I think 10, 4 of which are waiting to be made into HMLS Ogre. :)
