I started painting the tracks on my Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank with Chaos Black.

The reason they are half done is that I needed to hold onto one end as I painted them.

The plan is to then drybrush them with Boltgun Metal. They are not attached in the photograph, this will make it easier to paint the hull.

The Ironclad Miniatures Steam Tank was given a white undercoat.

I recently wrote a blog article on adding Science Fiction elements to Old West gaming, SteamPunk Old West.

I wanted a couple of vehicles to go with the Old West miniatures that were on my workbench. I bought a couple of resin models from Ironclad miniatures, including one of the steam tanks. It comes in a variety of pieces.

In order to paint it I am going to keep the tracks and turret separate from the main hull. The model went together very easily and needed minimal work or preparation.

Here is the tank assemblies together to see what the finished tank will look like.

I will be giving the model a white undercoat and then a basecoat of sand.

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.
