Just a few quick shots of my latest Work in Progress.

It's a steam coach with a twist.....the horses are steam powered not the the coach!!

It's based on plastic "Wedding Favor" I picked up for about £1.00. It has been slightly re-worked with a scratch-built interior a brake lever and a front kick-board added.
I'm going to be using some Mage-Knight steam horses to pull it.
All told it's cost me about £4.00 in materials!!!!

"Lady Jane Armstrong" seated in her private coach:

A scale comparison with a Westwind Victorian Gentleman:

I've just found a suitable driver which i will convert over the weekend.

Just get an UEFA umpire. Once it leaves the coaching zone, it will be reprimanded.

Seriously, great idea, fine execution, and I damn right cannot wait to see the finished piece!

"Seriously, great idea, fine execution, and I damn right cannot wait to see the finished piece!"

Yeah all true but we already know it will be absolutely awesome.

The wedding favour shop should get these for sale on a wargames website somewhere though as they would probably sell more - yes I would like one myself

Oh no! There he goes again. More VSF splendiferousness to both delight and depress us mere mortals

Drool

Can't wait to see how this turns out! Where did you get the coach - looks great for all sorts of experiments

Another masterpiece in the works from PM. Does his talent have no bounds?

I like it!

Nice twist, the horses steam powered.

No sponsons or turrets?

The anticipation is killer.

Great idea, Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Where did you pick up the Mage Knight horses.
Thunderchicken and I have been looking for some of those to create Her Majesty's (Guad Bless 'Er) Steam mounted dargoon guards
