One of my friend preparing WHFB Empire using perri minature's medival Japanese model range, and ask me to convert a steam tank to medival japanese warship style, adakebune.

So, here is the result.

I've been paid for just conversion, not painting so I will not post painted pics.


C&Cs are welcome.

Cool looking tanks. I like the wood colors. It looks very realistic.

That's because I'm pretty sure he used actual wood.

Very cool conversion; lots of character in it.

Cool tank, awesome army idea

I like it. Enough Japanese flavor to the woodwork that it'll fit right into a themed force.

Not keen on the turret, a fo'c'sle would be better imho.

Other than personal preference it looks super.

Absolutely wonderful.

The front corner posts look a little blocky and at odds with the more graceful back half of the construction. I would suggest using smaller posts that lean forward or something to break the 90 degree square look at the front.

But overall, wow.

Very nice. I agree with the thought of smaller front posts. Also, hit it with a coat or two of real wood stain.
