Just my luck, another VSF gamer on pretty much the exact opposite of the globe.

That looks mighty awesome!

Can't wait to see it painted! ;D

Post by: argsilverson on 26 February 2012, 11:04:37 PM: Ingenious!

Like the idea.

Post by: Colonel O Truth on 27 February 2012, 05:03:00 AM: Thank you, gentlemen!

The gun is now finished. Big Mike the Dinosaur and crew to follow...

Hope you like it!

Weird, I was looking at using the same Dino for pulling a coach.........

Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: argsilverson on 28 February 2012, 10:15:58 AM: awesome!

Scratchbuilding superb!
Painted even better!

PS: It needs a generator to power it!
Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: Colonel O Truth on 29 February 2012, 11:01:51 AM: A generator? Hmmm...

Added the crewman today. Would have done more, but was busy scratch-building Gatling guns...

Doesn't he look dashing?

yes a portable (i.e. on wagon) unit having some Tesla and Rumkorf coils or Wimshurst electrostatic generator

Stunning painting, too!

I really like it.

And obviously you're sooo talented at scratch building, I'm envious.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the link, Argsilverson! Very interesting. I migt play wth an idea or two...

Had some great ideas for more, equally silly, machines today. I'll keep you posted.

Argsilverson - I have decided to add a generator, as suggested. Thank you. It will be on a second carriage, forming a 'train'...

Watch this space...
Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: Doomsdave on 05 March 2012, 04:49:45 AM: Flipping brilliant. I wish I was this creative. Well done Sir.
Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: argsilverson on 05 March 2012, 12:02:41 PM: expecting to see it!

Since I understand that you are in the antipodes from me, I suggest you to use Eureka's figures from Pax Limpopo crew for the rattler or the thunderer, you may save some conversion. (tip: if you do not need the complete unit you may ask nicely to eureka and they can give you spare crew figures)

Now that is magic! Very nice contraption!
Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: argsilverson on 08 March 2012, 02:49:23 PM: Incredibly awesome !
Very nice thought and execution.

I understand that the painting is still on. A small suggestion Try to immitate copper on the copper cables. This will end to an extra striking effect. (BTW copper is not corroded -almost- and thus no need for protective paint). But as I judge from your painting and scratchbuilt abilities you do not need any advise from me!
Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: XCIV on 08 March 2012, 11:01:49 PM: The generator looks fantastic, as usual.

It must suck being so good at kitbashing. I wish I sucked half as bad as you.

If you get what I mean.

Seriously, though, the addition of the generator wagon was a great idea. I think it helps with the suspension of disbelief that goes to make VSF toys seem more realistic. You sir, are becoming a Known Figure in the realm of VSF Gaming. Her Majesty (God Bless Her) would most definitely be Amused.
Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: Colonel O Truth on 09 March 2012, 06:11:00 AM: Gentlemen, it is an honour to be held in such high regard. I only hope I can continue doing work that pleases!

I now have designs for seven new technological monstrosities of various sizes and plans for a project that will put Gargantua, Leadwood and eveything else so far to shame!

There. I've said it. Have to do it now...

Needless to say, it may take some time...

Magokiron - I'll try to live up to your expectations! New project on my table at this very moment.

All the Best.

It's forums such as this that keep me motivated. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and encouragement. Making stuff is much more fun when you're putting it out there for the world to critique!

All the Best!
Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: argsilverson on 11 March 2012, 10:52:33 AM: Yes, Superb!

Indeed it is a very beautiful model. Bravo!

(For spare figures, ask Nic from Eureka miniatures he might provide you with a couple of figires from their pax limpopo range i.e. vrew members of the rattler or thunderer)
Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: Colonel O Truth on 11 March 2012, 10:59:02 AM: Thank you. The generator was your idea - very glad you're pleased with the end result!

I'll take a look at Eureka and see what grabs me.

Post by: The_Beast on 11 March 2012, 02:35:07 PM: 'and has turned into something I'm rather proud of!'

Really, considering the dingus, brash understatement and false humility... lol

Sorry, is there a table large enough for that much awesomeness? And, WITH Gargantua?

In my list of people of hated competence, you are actually pushing into PM's realms, and we'll have none of that! ;)

Simply, sweet.

By the way, I've quite forgotten. Do you do fliers? :D

Title: Re: Faraday Galvanic Field Gun
Post by: Colonel O Truth on 11 March 2012, 06:11:51 PM: Um... Thanks, I think, Doug!

Still haven't actually GOT a table for these creations - that's coming!

As for flyers - yes. I have a sketch or two in me book...
