The League of the Gentlemen Extraordinary - The Phantom's Tank Bank Breaker Papercraft

History:

The League of the Gentlemen Extraordinary is a film based on the comic written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill, about a Victorian version of the Justice League but with characters from 19th century literature. Of which are:

Allan Quatermain, protagonist of "The Mines of King Solomon" by H.R. Haggard.

Mina Murray, from Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula"

Captain Nemo, from Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"

Dr. Jekyll / Edward Hyde, from "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson

Hawley Griffin (Skinner in the movie), "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells



As well as the insertion of new characters for the film such as:

Dorian Gray, from Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray"

Tom Sawyer, from "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain.



Although the film was a tremendous failure in both criticism and collection and was the last film in
which actor Sean Connery would participate in his long acting career, he left several interesting details in the film, which at first glance had potential, such as the steampunk atmosphere and the fantastic elements of the film.

One of these details was when at the beginning of the film and at the beginning of the 20th century, a War Tank appeared, very similar to the British Mark V tank, the same tanks used in the First World War, although with the difference that It does not have the side guns but the front, as well as the chassis and the track section are clearly different from the models used in the Great War.

Schwerer Gustav (German Railgun)

Imagen
  History: was a German 80-centimetre (31.5 in) railway gun. It was developed in the late 1930s by Krupp in Rügenwalde as siege artillery for the explicit purpose of destroying the main forts of the French Maginot Line, the strongest fortifications in existence at the time. The fully assembled gun weighed nearly 1,350 tonnes (1,490 short tons), and could fire shells weighing 7 t (7.7 short tons) to a range of 47 km (29 mi). The gun was designed in preparation for the Battle of France, but was not ready for action when that battle began, and in any case the Wehrmacht's Blitzkrieg offensive through Belgium rapidly outflanked and isolated the Maginot Line's static defences, which were then besieged with more conventional heavy guns until French capitulation. Gustav was later deployed in the Soviet Union during the Battle of Sevastopol, part of Operation Barbarossa, where, among other things, it destroyed a munitions depot located roughly 30 m below ground level. The gun was moved

Char 2C (French Super Heavy Tank) Papercraft

Imagen
History: The Char 2C, also known as the FCM 2C, is a French heavy tank, later also seen as a super-heavy tank, developed during World War I but not deployed until after the war. It was, in total volume or physical dimensions, the largest operational tank ever made. Designed at the end of the Great War to replace the Saint-Chamond tank and participate in the main offensives planned for 1919, this super heavy and heavily armed tank had to be able to cross trenches of 5.20 m, - the width of a lock in the north channel of France - and crush enemy checkpoints without the support of artillery. Faced with the technical and industrial problems of this program too ambitious for the capabilities of a French industrial-military complex already committed to the maximum of its capabilities, General Jean Estienne ordered, in January 1918, no less than 700 of these "land battleships" . intended for assault artillery. Only ten were finally built by the Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerrané

Papercraft - Building Sd.Kfz. 165 Hummel (German Self-propelled Artillery)

Imagen
History: Hummel (German: "bumblebee") was a self-propelled gun based on the Geschützwagen III/IV chassis and armed with a 15 cm howitzer. It was used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War from early 1943 until the end of the war. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz 165. This vehicle arose from the need to provide artillery support to armored units such as the Panzer Divisions, but without making the division lose mobility. Based on the chassis of the Panzer IV, the mobile turret was replaced by a fixed structure where an artillery gun was housed. Initially they were mounted with a 105mm cannon to finally go on to mount a 150mm sFH 18M cannon with 18 rounds. The Hummels were delivered to the heavy batteries of the Panzer Divisions' armored artillery detachments in early 1943, first entering action at the Battle of Kursk. Subsequently ammunition transports were assigned to the division. More than 500 units of this vehicle were built. 3D Model: XXXgau
