Land Battleship "sorry about your village"- complete- more pics

I'd imagine track bash would require the kind of industrial effort that had previously only been seen during the build of Crystal Palace or the Forth Bridge.

wel ... extremely impressive indeed !

It makes me remeber this, which has a beautiful seaplanes touch, in a nicely paradoxical way :



I have a "Charles de Gaulle" kit in my attic, and someday I will try to make it a bit like that, with a few 1/400 and 1/350 seaplanes on it ...

What amazes me is the lack of damage to anything behind this monster. Solid unobtamium with helium chambers for light weight?? 

[Captain Canada]

That water carrier is too cool ! Bizarre, but cool ! I like the beach at the front....and the shape leading down to the tracks. Would make an interesting model, but I'd make it more conventional 

Besides, wouldn't all those sea planes just splash out a bunch of water ?

It has to be French .....

[Mossie]

Barmy!     I've enjoyed seeing that crazy concept come to life, great work.

[Librarian]

Just love these ideas. Forget the bridge, just go right over the river. The water carrier reminds me of a joke in a paper depicting a woman in a niqab being chased by french police across a nudist beach. alternate humor, its the canines love spuds .

It reminds me to the "Habakuk"-carrier-projekt of the british navy in WW2.
This project was made by ice - arctic ice.
Roundabout 1 mile long and 300 to 500 meters wide with a number of heavy guns and anti-aircraft-guns, huge shelters for carrier-planes... and so on.
Unsinkable and within short time able to repair in duty by water-canons and cooling units.

thanks a lot for telling me who is the author of this splendid image, and idea!
I had found it randomly on the net, and didn't know where it came from.

  Sorry to be so late in commenting - I love the Old Science magazine covers, and its great to see someone doing such a terrific
job interpreting one of them. I'm going to have to borrow the technique you used for the treads

[McColm]

Wow!
Now I know what to build with the Revell 1/720 Ark Royal.

Thanks Doc and others.  Yes there are some great old magazine covers out there begging to be made in plastic.
