About a year ago, I decided to make an Empire Landship to go with a small contingent of marine-themed Empire troops. I want it to act as a proxy Steamtank, so it was important that it fits on a standard base. As a challenge to myself, I planned to make a close replica of the 28mm scale Forgeworld model.
The hull is a pen lid covered in greenstuff and brass strips with a deck made from a lollipop stick carved with planks. The cannon is a piece of tubing and plasticard. The fore and aftcastles are plasticard with the odd bit of brass strip. The engine is some carved sprue, plasticard, bits of brass strip, wire and anything I could cobble together.
I've worked on it very slowly in the intervening time (and admired other people's efforts on here!), but now I’m almost done – the crew are still being worked on and there are a few small details to add (ladder, anchor, bowsprit, a few levers and a ship's wheel). It needs painting before assembly of course!
Apologies if the pictures are crap!
