What am I supposed to do with that? I don’t want display pieces, I want to make stupid engine sounds and laser blasts and zoom around the room like an idiot. And the Falcon was the same size as the X-wing. The Millennium Falcon and Star Destroyer were the same size. It bugged the ever loving shit out of me that the die cast ships from Star Wars IV were completely messed up. The Transformers world, where size tended to matter, meant Go-bots (who were only slightly taller than Bumblebee) were generally only slightly more powerful than Bumblebee (I made exceptions for Leader-1 and Cy-kill because…who cares). Mine was a 3 3/4-inch world, and if I couldn’t fit a toy into it, then it sat on the sidelines, lonely and unplayed. Joe, in my mind he became a giant robot built by Destro to help Cobra fight the Joes. I got a couple of Mk Vs and FTs from Trenchworx’s Kickstarter, but one problem…and, look, I know this sounds looney tunes, so just read quickly and nod politely…I like my stuffs to be in the same scale. I have Warhammer 40k tanks, which certainly were based on the British Mk IV and V tanks (apart from its tall profile, the Land Raider is heavily inspired by these tanks friends often ask me why a tank of the far future would ever be based on a WWI era tank, and I shrug uselessly, “looks cool,” but I don’t know either). It’s the same spirit of ingenuity one can also see in early flying machines (which I chided in Flight).įor whatever reason, I have never owned a WWI model tank. If you flip through photos of WWI tanks, you can see the experimental try-anything thought processes that brought these machines life. Even as the metal monsters began to rumble onto the battlefields of western Europe, rarely were they in sufficient numbers to make conclusive judgments about the success of their design and engineering. No one knew if their design would be a success in the field because there was no such thing as a tank before. They fascinate me because you can see the inventiveness and anything-goes spirit that went into them. Trenchworx recently held a Kickstarter to fund the Mk V, the Renault FT (a French tank and the most numerous tank fielded in the war), and the massive and boxy (and, of course, German) A7V (plus an armored Rolls Royce). It’s a cool model, and I appreciate the detail down to each individual rivet. I didn’t paint it, but I wish I did.īehold the filthy splendor of Trenchworx’s new British Mk V, a WWI era tank in 28mm resin.
