These came after a search for Popemobiles on Google, but I also have ideas for "Congregation Protection Vehicles" armed with "Vicar's" machine guns.

I saw some of his work in person at the Oxford Steampunk exhibition back in February. Very impressive, although, the lady I was with was disappointed when I pointed out that he hadn't sculpted all the little bits individually, rather he'd just raided a lot of kit boxes!  ;D

The sort of thig hardcore missionaries would use "Convert or we'll shell you into submission!!!"  OR Conversion at the point of a (VERY BIG) gun....

SO, do you think they shoot fire 'n Brimstone shells?? Holy water 88mm's??

I would have thought that a Churchill chassis would have been a better starting point !  ;D

On the top one, I'd like to offer a tentative identification of the church as "Church Stuttgart-Berg" in N scale by Vollmer:

The idea is obviously taking off:

Note how they've photoshopped up their own design, presumably to avoid infringing Kuksi's copyright.

Well I've already suggested to Rad that he finds a suitably plain church, sticks it on a Covenantor chassis and places a Saltire on the spire  ;D

I'm just wondering what the atheist equivalent would be: University Gunboat?  Library Landing Craft? ;D

Love the Dawkins Class Destroyer :wub:

Started with the Dapol (ex-Airfix) church last night, and although it's warped to b*ggery, basically got it together, but it needs lots of attention, details, etc.....

Not begun the tanky bit yet.
I need to look in the loft for something big.

Also up there is my projected mobile Spanish Inquisition "Interrogation" Vehicle, in 1/35th.

By the way, was thinking of "N" scale churches.....
