I just put up a new page on my blog, showing finished VSF projects...

Oops! "showing..."

:?

Little button at the top right hand corner of your post reading 'modify'. Click it.

Wonderful stuff, by the way. Really rather good indeed...
:-*

Not so sure about the use of (unpainted) wood, though. I think steel would be better for the two-legged walker and gun carriage.

Edit: And shouldn't the big one fly the RN ensign, rather than the Union Flag? ;)

Post by: Svennn on March 12, 2012, 03:43:38 PM: Nice work :-* :-* I too did think that wood was possibly not the best material for the legs but as someone said to me only last night - form over function every time :) Didn't look unpainted to me though.

Post by: Colonel O Truth on March 12, 2012, 05:27:01 PM: Thanks, gents.

You're right - I may replace the Union Flag with the RN Ensign at some point. Not sure.

As for wood - it looks nice. 'Nuff said.

Oh, no, I meant it's been painted 'natural' - gun carriages etc are usually painted blue (for the British) or whatever. I didn't mean nothing has been done to them - indeed, it looks pretty damned impressive.

If you see what I mean...

Post by: Arteis on March 13, 2012, 07:20:27 AM: I like the wooden look of 'Pantagruel'. As it is unarmed, and so possibly civilian, maybe its the steam walker equivalent of one of those real-life varnished wood luxury steam-yachts and speedboats?
Title: Re: Weapons of Mass Delusion
Post by: XCIV on March 14, 2012, 04:53:32 AM: I believe Pantagruel was built as a civilian exploratory walker. Plus, the prices of Bessemer steel these days - absolutley ruinous. You'd have to have the Purse to cover the costs! I imagine that's why they opted for honest British oak.

Post by: Colonel O Truth on March 14, 2012, 07:05:05 AM: Yes. Something like that.

Post by: Melnibonean on March 15, 2012, 12:43:52 PM: Great stuff and very inspirational.
I've been wanting to make myself a steamwalker for a while now. After seeing this it might be my next project.

Almost a haiku, there.
