Have some questions about these

[maxmwill]

While reading through the Tank Girl thread, I began to think about another possibility of armor similar to the tank.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers the Ogre class of battle tank, as well as Keith Laumer's Bolo series. These were super tanks, with ridiculous armaments, including a huge rail gun as its main weapon, and some of them were GEV(ground effect vehicles - hovercraft).

The second part of this also has to do with a literary creation, this one by the author Larry Correia, his Grimnoir Chronicles. Correia writes a style of fantasy called action horror, although the Grimnoir Chronicles are more action fantasy. I'm not going to go into great detail, except to say that they are set in the middle of the Depression, and that the mode of long distance travel is via dirigible, with aircraft being considered too hazardous.

And, the dirigibles tend to be multihulled wonders, with battleship equivalents, which also doubled as aircraft carriers.

So, I ask if anyone would be willing to at least consider such a beast, either as an illustration or as a model of some sort.

One of the aircraft which were described in the later story was a modification of the Curtiss R3C-2 racer, so there is a starting point.

If you might be interested in finding out more about this, there is a Wiki page on this. And I'll say this much, Larry Correia sure knows his guns.
