I have four metal models from this range that I bought some time ago, not sure if that was the only ones I bought or if I have merely mislaid and lost the others…. I thought I had ten, but there are only four.
The first stage will be to clean the casting and base them. I will then be following this painting guide from Foundry.
The Retronaut website has a great series of images of tanks from World War One in one of their recent blog posts.
If you are thinking about making some scenery for games in this period, these photographs really do give you some interesting ideas.
There are a fair few images of damaged or immobilised tanks and so again useful guidance when making abandoned tanks as scenic pieces.
If you want to see a fantastic looking demonstration game from World War One, then here are some photographs from Aly Morrison’s excellent game at GamesDay 2007.
The replica tank built for the War Horse film has been bought by The Tank Museum in order to show visitors how these massive metal beasts moved around, without needing to put at risk the original Great War tanks.
Via the Landships Forum.
Having finished the construction of my 15mm Home Guard MkIV Male Tank I gave the model a white undercoat.
I have had this tank for sometime. Having found the 6pdrs I glued them in. Don’t remember the manufacturer, though it may be Minifigs! When I was planning some Operation Sealion games back in the 1990s I intended that the Home Guard would make use of a museum Mark IV Male tank. I mentioned this also in an article I wrote on a French themed Operation Sealion, Otaire de Vigneur.
To add a bit of diversity to my games, I also have one of Minifigs’ World War One British tanks, for use by a Home Guard unit (stolen from a local museum no doubt).
Now when I wrote that article and bought the miniature it was only an assumption and what I thought would be a nice idea, and probably had no basis in truth….
