Title: Dear Santa... (How far can the rules be bent?)
Post by: AndyGif on November 18, 2013, 06:57:10 AM
After seeing monster moves, the railway gun episode a few weeks ago and then seeing a prog on artillery pieces on one of the sat channels this weekend, I thought I'd see what was out there in the modelling world.
I found a few beasties in various scales, then I found this one...

I model the BR Blue period, can I bend the rules that far???
(And its also available in 1/72 {76} and for the completely insane 1/35 < the made up kits is 6 foot long! >)

Looks okay to me, but you would need a special loco to use with it.
My suggestion would be the one of the Diamond Head cover...
