wonderful and ingenious 

where is the orca cavalry?

Absolutely nuts and I love it.

This has been actually one of the ideas on my list to add for my Gnome Wars range but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I am glad you are as insane as me!

You did that Svennn ?
Outstanding.

Now I understand your Post regarding the T+T colonial.

I read that one before this thread and was similarly confused

I just can't get over how cool that panda is. 

[Dr X]

YES! It is sweet, like candy!

Is there are any tutorial how to built howdah? (and what material to use)

[Svennn]

It was all done in styrene sheet and strip. These two pics may give you a better idea. The cloth on the panda was done with procreate epoxy putty.

The way I did it was - cut a platform/base a suitable size for your beast and crew, add some skirting at a slight angle and then cut end pieces both to support and make it look more substantial and then add whatever pieces you need for the crew. Mine was based on ancient Chinese chariots although it looks just like a platform with railings.

Thanx!

Hey Svennn, did you see this:



A worthy addition for the Panda Car, isn't it? Nearly a must-have ...

He is very nice but $15 for a single panda and I cannot work out how I would get a howdah on his back

this should be vice versa - 4-6 chinese carrying the panda on a litter

Svenn you really are quite a talented model maker.  That Panda is fantastic and i love how you have painted the crew!  Can't wait to see a photograph of it in action!  Will it be part of the same force that your Chinese airship belongs too?
