HMCS Redoubt

Bill Witthans, creator of the fine Prussian steam-powered landship posted to WWS previously, has kindly sent me pics of another of his wonderful conveyances- the HMCS REDOUBT!


















Bill created this from the Scheltrum Miniatures "Jules Verne Class French Aerial Torpedo Destroyer" kit you can find here: (thanks for the information Ironmammoth!)

Great stuff Bill- many thanks indeed for sharing your great creation!

2025 Edit: Sadly this website is long gone. I did find a few pics from the Wayback machine for prosperity

This is a lovely execution of the Scheltrum Miniatures kit!

I built the one they use on their website and at shows, and I also did the vac-forming of the hulls!

Really nice job, shame you didn't credit Scheltrum in the article though!
