Scaleorama into a 1/35 two man armoured attack launch?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

 I think someone actually makes a small outboard in 1/35, too.  ;D  ;)

............or go off in the other direction and make a 1/144 scale vessel as used by the Confederate Navy

Quote from: chrisonord on December 17, 2025, 06:55:05 AMI think I will have to have one of those. It yearns for a T-34 turret in it. Or two  :wacko:

Bear in mind, this thing is REALLY small, judging by the relative size of the machine-guns. It's basically an armoured motor-boat.

Well First To Fight do a whole bunch of other late 1930s armour as well, so maybe you could get something smaller off, say, an FT-17, a Vickers E or a 7TP.

I was thinking of a dragged out of retirement craft, used in shallow south American esturies. A tank turret, or an armoured manned turret with substantial gunnage, something that could be used against other water craft.

Well perfect: FT-17s were exported all over the world, and the Polish Vickers E and 7TP were just variations on Vickers' standard export model. It'd be highly credible to find one of them with a seized engine but a serviceable turret lying around somewhere in South or Central America.

Something else a little windswept and interesting, 1/72 Renault YS command tank.

Interesting, I've never seen one of those before. Looks like it would make a good artillery tractor too.

Maybe they should do a figure of De Gaulle to pose in it ? Mind you he would probably have a job getting in it  ;D , a very tall man.

I must admit I do like their range, unfortunately they are just to fiddly for me now  :-\
