Very nice. What's even better is I have all of those parts in my bits box  :D

Excellent!
Are those parts from the Atlantis toy submarine "Ulysses"?

Yep, with one of the wagon backs inserted in the middle.

Yes it is all from the atlantis toys, it was a hard work to build it. The riveted planks on the hull are all sawn out of the submarine frame. I still wait for my reviresco parts and then I will finish it.

Oh, now that walker is a treat. Love to hear what the body's made of, because that looks almost purpose-made.

A great bit of steam jiggery-pokery going on there.

I would think of that as a 'heavy' class walker though, as it looks like the Prussian one on the front cover, which is a chunky metal menace.
That Steam Boy toy looks a perfect fit.

Nice work!

Really rather like that walker, especially the stonking oversized rocket arm

Look for a steamboy mecha collection toy , cut of the stumpy legs and the torso is complete.
I decided taking the sentinel legs because I wanted a light walker. The congreve rocket gun is made from a pen and warhammer fantasy/40k bits.

<Stephen Fry voice>I have to throw in my tuppence worth here and agree that both projects are quite the right sort of thing, but unfortunately, are rather too French. Therefore, I feel it will be the duty of all good Englishmen to force these frogeaters right out of Old Blighty. Good day to you, sir!</Fry>

Very nice work!

I was excited to see the steam barque because I, too, recognized the components and have them in my bits box. But then I saw that walker and I was just BLOWN AWAY! Great job! Thanks for the breakdown of the parts list.
