Definitely NOT a Gentleman's Conveyance - Steam Carriage

[Ramshackle_Curtis]

Hey, fantastic paint job as always. You finished that in less time than I took to send it to you! Can I put it up in my gallery please? And yes, more story text please!

[Bullshott]

Very nice work PM (as usual). I saw one of these up close yesterdat at the Atlantis game and was very much impressed by it. Now I just need to work out which of my VSF forces it would work best in ...

Another fantastic addition to your VSF zombie stuff

Would love to see all your stuff on a nice table with a battle report.

I second this. I would love to see some game-in-progress shots of the whole lot some time.

[Geudens]

nice, PM! Glad to see you post a finished item again.  I'll have to see now how I can eliminate it... 
(no fear, I have to finish a couple projects that can't wait, I'm afraid).

Regards,

Rudi

now that's a nice contraption!

Thank you all for the comments!
I really enjoyed putting this one together and look forward to Curtis producing more steam contraptions......(Hint Hint.)

I quite enjoy writing the background "fluff" for each model I paint and will probably compile it into a short story at some point.

Curtis: Feel free to use my photos on your site!

Rudi: Slightly unfair to create a machine to destroy my conveyance......

I just couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"What do you mean it doesn't possess any offensive weapons?"
The Professor looked me up and down, seeming genuinely hurt by my comments.
"I am a man of peace Sir. I built this machine to be all but impervious to harm, protecting its occupants from everything short of a naval bombardment. The military took a similar tack to yourself and when I refused to arm it they withdrew their funding...." _{Extract from Sir Harcourt Rhymes' Journal 27 October 1887}

Thanks again for the comments.

I love it, what fun!.

Great work on a most wonderful and unique steam contraption, I love the use of the beads(?) for the headlamps, they really look like they are lit up. I also have to say that I thought the little background snippets were wonderful and really added character to this most wonderful of pieces.

Luverly stuff Eddie.
I also enjoy your background fluff, it sets up the scene for each very nicely and ties your concept together, Can't wait to see a game with this lot

Too kind Charles!!!
I've got a dedicated games room now all I needare the funds to build a decent games table!!!!

Haarken: The headlamp crystals were "borrowed" from my wife's sewing room..... I was going to attempt to paint the lighting effects but my ability drops short of getting a decent result.

As usual - a truly inspired VSF piece, beautifully constructed, modified and painted.  Very well done Sir, very well done.

Bloody marvellous stuff PM! Truly inspiring.

The best part, one can just see it ploughing through zombies at a high speed. (tough manoeuvring tight corners might be harder)

Actually, if you were to play a game with these, what would you use?

And a final question, could you tell me how the anima tactics lady with the hefty gun would scale against, say Perry miniatures size? I always assumed their stuff was to large, but I think I never actually was told so.

[Traveler Man]

A gorgeous model! I love everything about it.

Of course, Prof. Hinchcliffe also lets his wife use it to take the kids to school... 

[Hawkeye]

Absolutely brilliant - beautiful conversion and painting. All in all, it oozes Victorian Zombie Hunter charm. Like others, I also love the extracts from Sir Harcourt Rhymes' journal, and this one is no exception. No offensive weapons! Well, three tons of iron and those huge wheels is all the offensive weaponry it needs!
