Very pleasing overall shape, reminds me a bit of Rodney Matthews (no bad thing there) :)

cheers

Yes - I'm a big fan of Rodney Matthews too.

No idea how these will turn out when they're finished but I have high hopes.

Post by: Colonel O Truth on November 26, 2013, 09:54:51 AM: Black, I think.

I was going to do red, but this is VSF and therefore red=British.

Or possibly some really violent, sickly, insect-ish colour.

Hard to know really - it has to be Victorian in essence, even though the machinery is fictional. Colour is a big part of that.

Still thinking. Suggestions are welcome!

Copper patina and a silver might look quite good together with a few twiddly bits in gold.

cheers

The majority are red or green but there are a few in yellow and blue, but the way the trim interacts with the rest of the colour is what you're actually looking for.
