WWI Traction Engine

The way the boiler and wheels slot together is really clever—no warping at all. It painted up nicely for a 28mm table.

The MDF is surprisingly sturdy for the price and the rivet detail along the boiler really pops once painted. It took me about 30 minutes to assemble, and now it’s the centerpiece of my No Man’s Land trench board.

I’ve been using this to haul artillery pieces across my trench table, and the solid MDF build holds up way better than the flimsy plastic kits I’ve tried. The detailing around the boiler and wheels gives it a proper grim, frontline look that fits right in.
