Looks like the 19th C screw gun with a shield. I'll get on it, Boco

hey, could someone make me a French St. Chamond tank? nemo-esque, too, please! thanks!






"The St. Chamond suffered from having been built in a hurry. Holt - type tractor parts made up the suspension and a simple box body was built on top, featuring a terrifying amount of overhang at each end. The major technical innovation was the use of a petrol - electric transmission system, which, it was hoped would give better handling qualities than a mechanical transmission."

I'll give it a try. I need one myself for my Warlords of China scenario.

So warlords of china may be finished?

Is it for ToT? Not that it makes difference for me...

Yes, it MAY

But of course!

here's a (sort of) recolored British Mk. V tank. No camo, just green.

Here's a pair of very bad French WWI tanks: the Char d'Assaut St. Chamond, as requested, and it's sister, the Char d'Assaut Schneider. One or both will appear in Warlords of China, which MIGHT be finished by the end of the summer.

Both tanks shared the Holt tractor undercarriage, which was far too small for the size of the machines. The result was they tended to get stuck pretty often, especially when traversing trenches and shell holes. As these activities were the raison d'etre of WWI tanks, this rendered them pretty much useless, so they ended the war as supply carriers.

The St. Chamond was notable for a gasoline/electric motor system which, unfortunately, added an extra 5 tonnes to its weight, rendering it almost immobile. The Schneider was notable for poorly protected gas tanks, which, unfortunately, caused it to blow up regularly.

Despite their poor specs, they're both offbeat and pretty cool, which is why I'm thinking of including them them in W of C.

Note to Art of War: I didn't camo these, 'cause I'm not sure what you're using them for exactly. Hope they're what you need.

Wow! These tanks are looking great!

Very nice, Tech

[Art of War]

those are awesome! one question, though: is there anyway you could make em a bit bigger, size wise?

[Art of War]

has anyone made an Avro 504 plane, used by the Brits..?

[techumseh]

AofW: I lengthened the St Chamond by 6 pixels, which is more accurate, based on a side view I've found. It also gives a better feeling for the serious design flaw which made this beast so difficult to manouver.

I also found a right side view of the Schneider, and discovered a short 75mm gun mounted on the front plate on the right hand side, so that's been added too.

I've done camo versions and an unpainted (rusty) metal version in Warlord colors.

Those are sweet Tech

You're in luck mate, I just happened to be making one for a scenario:

[Art of War]

what about a Moran Saulnier M9? Have you already made one of those? if not, could you? thanks in advance!

[Art of War]

thanks Tech, those are awesome...the Chamond will come in very handy!

thanks also to fairline..awesome planes, man. just awesome.
