HMSW Gargantua - progess report

[Steve F]

Probably the single most convincing VSF walker I have ever seen.  Congratulations, sir.

[Colonel O Truth]

Thank you, gentlemen.

I am pleased to announce that she is FINISHED!

I've just posted pics and stuff on my blog:

So glad this is over! Working on a few new projects already...

All the Best!

WOW!!Stunning attention to detail a true masterpiece

[Ray Rivers]

She's a big honking nightmare of hydraulics, tubing and rivets... 

Well done! 

[Colonel O Truth]

Thank you very much, gentlemen. I'm glad you're impressed!

Bezzo - another word which has been tremendously over-used is RIVETS. And MY FINGERTIPS.

Oh well. On with the next project. No rest for the wicked.

[Rob_bresnen]

well done you mad bugger. But what was the final rivet count?

[FramFramson]

That is easily the most sophisticated VSW machine I can recall ever seeing (well, in terms of wargames models). That's a deep functional understanding of steam engine and machine forms and construction and the whole model is built around and with that knowledge. 

[Colonel O Truth]

Rob - Thanks!

Final rivet count was 3,630!

Fram - Thank you very much. All that 'Industrial Revolution' stuff at school was good for something, I guess!

Simply  A work of art!
