As I explained sometimes in other topics, my skills are minimal and I cannot produce anything.
So, I am waiting to see you, Dear Gentlemen! Make me envy!

Hey, how about an unofficial competition - making the best steam powered VSF aeroplane loosely based on that image in x weeks?
Although I'm kilometres below Rudi-level, I'd be game to try.
How about it? ???

I'll be honest with you guys: I've had a steam airplane on the workbench for a while (not looking anything like the above...), but real world business and an urgent project keep it sidetracked for the moment (it's a pain to paint, you see).
Just be patient, it'll appear here one of these days (weeks...).
Suffice it for the moment to say it's a toy conversion. 8) ;)

Well, that means that if I start from scratch now I get a handicap, right? ;) :D

How about this one? It's just one of Eureka's versatile "Armoured Penny Farthings" with parts of a 1/72 WWI airplane...

Sadly, the flying machine doesn't exist anymore. Our tomcat smashed it while searching the shelves for something to eat... >:( :'(

Aww, that's a pity, it was great :'(
Rudi, to add insult to injury I can;t even start on the thing for a week or so! THis should be fun...

That's a real shame. :'(
I really like the look of that little beauty.
I can see a need for a few of those. Add a couple of bombs and a steam-powered gatling or two and you'd have hours of fun playing with it! I'm tempted to have a go at "VSF-ing" a GW Dwarf helicopter thingy, if I can find a cheap one on EBay.
I might just look into making my own armoured bi-plane one day.
Until then I wait with baited breath to see Rudi's next work of art :D

hey guys... you saw the other planes in the article, right? there are some even cooler ones ;) i started a steam jetbike/flyer coupé yesterday... pics on the weekend ;) tobi

As it looks now, it'll be several weeks before I'll be able to finish mine, so: no hurry, no worries... :D

Here is an one of my old models of a steam powered airplane. A William Henson Aerial Steam Carriage built to the scale of 1/300th or 1mm = 1foot.

Now, that's more up my alley! (be it that I'm building a 28mm version...)

What are it's dimensions, Tony? It looks pretty big for a 1/300 model - based on what I'm assuming is a 1cm grid on the cutting mat :o I'm betting you could transport a steam-tank or two inside it.
It certainly is a lovely model and would be spectacular in 28mm :D
-
Blogger is playing up today. I had included the dimensions, but they are now missing of the post and I cannot access the most upto date post to ammend.
The steam carriage is 80mm long, 130mm wingspan and the carriage is 12mm tall.
