WWI Era Armor - Real and WHIF

[jcf]

I also wonder if a turret right above the engine (it was literally placed in the middle of the tank!) would be a good idea at all, and I doubt that there's be any space for it...? But it's whifworld, after all.  When there's one in an Indiana Jones movie, there's got to be something to it. 

Doable in a Mk. VIII Liberty, as the engine was aft of the fighting compartment.

I'm sure we could think of other things for it to tow (steampunk flying saucer is what immediately springs to mind).

[Dizzyfugu]

That's neat.

Bearing in mind how small that is, it's 1/144, then it' has a particularly nice finish 

Just supposing gunpowder had never been invented ? Then with a few additions it could become a mobile armoured trebuchet  . I'll go and pick my prescription up now

I'd be tempted to put a Hills Hoist (rotary washing line to non-antipodeans) on the top strung with long underwear - Armoured Laundry.  Duke of York's Own Heavy Laundry Brigade Ypres 1917.



FWIW everytime I read this thread title I picture a MkIV tank with Explosive Reactive Armour...

I can see what you mean!

They could also have armoured de-lousing stations

I'd like to be able to build a flying elephant tank at some point.

Those amphibs look amazing, were they an RW project or completely from your head? I like the snorkels sticking out of the top.

I've sometimes considered purloining a British WW1 light tank from Rheged minor's stash and building it as an ice cream vendor  I suppose I'd have to call it "Mr Whippet"  ices.




Sorry, Chris, I know that's getting close to another entry in THE BOOK
