Hey guys,

I'm a member of Wessex Games: Victoria Science Fiction group.  Once in a while they post some really remarkable things.  Like this artists concept of a giant steam powered two wheeled gyroscopically stabalized land ironclad that was published in 1916!

WW1 Deathwheel

Just thought I'd delurk and spread the Epic:VSF love!

Made that Tsar tanks yet? You might want to consider changing the power plant to a electric one and armament to lightning guns, though.  :devil:

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.  I'm more of a dabbler in the VSF arena but I do keep up on Aeronef and the like.  Actually "dabbler" pretty much sums up my whole wargamer persona.  I never seem to get to a gaming table these days but I always have 3 painting projects on the go!  I'm glad Epic stuff is so easy to paint, otherwise I'd never get an army done.
