Great airship design. I like how it departs just enough from the traditional blimp look (with angular lines instead of curves), but not so much that it's unrecognizable.
Badass.

Well, I've made another ship. I call it the "Odin class".
It's a *correction* BATTLESHIP!
lol
I put the Mjölnir (with some updates on her) below the Odin to serve as size comparison. As usual; the Mjölnir is ca 281 meters.
(please don't think that I'm trying to spam the Mjölnir in every post I do, I'm just too lazy to measure the new ships I make, so I simply insert the Mjölnir and that should suffice
as size reference)
Currently I'm working on:
The Zeppelinuberbattleship... thing
A carrier, a little bit smaller than an Essex class (I think)
the supermegaduper battleship thingie.
Well folks, Hope u like the Odin

It's a heavy cruiser (possibly a light battleship when looking on the overpowered armanment) as I've written in the image.

It looks awesome, but I have to ask how many guns each of those large turrets has and what calibre they are?
Thanks for your kind comment
They have three guns on each large turret on the Mjölnir and two guns on each turret on the Odin and the caliber is ca 15 inches on the Mjölnir(I'm not totally sure about that yet though) (aka the same as on the Hood)
and the Odin has 14 inches (Still not sure about it though)
Because germans have always gone that one step to far.

That's 18 15 inch guns, meaning the Odin has a larger broadside weight than most battleships in WW2. It's definitely a battleship, not a heavy cruiser.
oh, ok
, thanks. (and yes, I know it's not that smart to put a big gun like that between the "bridge section" and the "santa claus doors", as I like to call them )
Arthropod Cavalry!
And another one; this time of a somewhat British character. An officer of the Third Heavy Brigade, perhaps, the one with the famous 'Nauseamus Igitur' parole?
I know this thread is about machines and not about alternate cavalry, but oh well... I found three more of these old paintings: a German one, an American one, but of a later period, and and an old fart of an officer who might be French. Should I post them?

I say go for it. These pictures are very well drawn and I am sure we can bend the rules for a few exceptions

And I will agree. At least 100%. These guys & critters are a hoot!
On a related note, i seem to remember a LOT of SF/Fantasy paperbooks from the 60s & 70s had strange creatures used as mounts by assorted strange, unusual or weird mounts by warriors of assorted species. Any of those eligible for the thread?

"They call it the Panzerkampfwagen III. In compairison with the description you gave us, it seems to be bigger and the shape is clearly different, with the glacis plate and turret front being sloped, but they've kept the engine at the rear and the front machine-gunner next to the driver."

PzKpfw III 25-30 ton battle tank with 50mm L/60 gun (75mm L/45 in later versions) similar to the historical Panzer III but with thicker sloped armor and introduced instead of the historical Panzer III and IV.
