My attempt at a Texas style militia tank force. My variant of a Texas Longhorn, Tea Tosser, and Mark IIIs.   |

Great conversions and I really like the paint scheme. Putting the Longhorn's gun mount completely outside of the hull is the logical way to go! Better use of those strange side plates too.

Thanks for the comments.
I remember seeing a kick starter picture from 2013 that featured a steamer with a 100mm gun with a trailer which might have been a prototype Texas Longhorn. The AT gun is such a large weapon that it would need a trailer just for it's ammo. A small FOW base fits nicely over the hull of the steamer tank. For me anyway, I though putting the cannon and the Tea Tosser contraption above the hull made more sense mechanically and makes them look more ad hoc. |

Is that a crewman working an exterior HMG on one of the TX tanks?

Maybe one time I'll stop along the way and visit John Wayne's house. You're on. I'll provide some additional gamers and even buy you lunch, or dinner. This may even give me the incentive to work on a few more models. |
