Looks great and very well armoured! Looks to me like it will be a bit of a powerhouse if it's got a half decent motor
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

Same motor as the other Simplex (I.P Engineering Budget chassis), which despite the looks is actually quite powerful, this' I expect will be even more powerful as there is quite a bit of weight in it.

Just what I was thinking... are you sure it isn't a tank?

Looking good so far.

Well if you do decide that it's a tank Will, can we fit it with SLRmidge's miniature gun (as seen on the starship enterplough) for a bit of railcar destruction? :twisted: Or maybe just ram the simplex into the railcar, it won't stand a chance :laughing3:

Lol, well I'm building a second one for a friend, which has the second stage armour! I can see Gag Torton getting killed if you continue to think like this!
