The military might in the Victorian era was enhanced with powerful steam tanks.

I recently wrote an article on adding Science Fiction elements to Old West gaming, SteamPunk Old West. I wanted some vehicles to go with the Old West miniatures I was painting. Looking at the resin models from Ironclad miniatures, one that did catch my eye was one of the steam tanks. It comes in a variety of pieces.

This is a very clean casting. There are not many parts and this dry run shows it was very easy to put together. I am thinking about adding more details to the model.

The first task was to wash the resin, to remove any remaining mould lubricant.

Thinking about possible scenarios, the idea of gold mines came to me. So decided to purchase the model. Very much a Jules Verne style model it was still looked very much like it would fit into the old west environment.

It was a very clean casting and there weren’t too many pieces either.

You could use them on infantry bases for Flames of War, but like a lot of people, I am not a great fan of moving walls and ruins that travel across the battlefield.

I will probably make up some ruined buildings to use alongside the Total Battle Miniatures ruins I have and the Flames of War non-ruined buildings.
