Next project

[Bezzo]

I have a hankering to make one of these:

[Svennn]

Had seen the second pic before, perhaps even here on LAF, and considered trying to do one but wimped out.

Look forward to seeing your progress.

[DrVesuvius]

Now this is something I'm really looking forward to seeing.

Look at the "steamboy" range -the smaller of the two "aromoured kinghts" is about the right size I think the ones made by Bandai. I added a top hat from a "Loveless" figure as I had more than a few left over from buying Wild Wild West walker figures on e-bay and looked around for a suitable wagon and forgot about the project !!!!! another idea I had was have a Sedan chair instead.

I love the fact he has a bit in his teeth. 

[Pappa Midnight]

I'm also looking forward to this.......

I was thinking of making an armoured Hansom Cab pulled by a steam horse. Your idea is much better.

I might have a smaller armoured knight from Steamboy   

I'll have a look

Blooming heck
It would need to be made out of gold to cost that much.

Check out the book "Boilerplate History's mechanical marvel" its a lot cheaper and has some very nice pictures but honest I did enjoy the "History" of Boilerplate a mechanical Flashman though the later 19th and 20th century.
Theres also a chapter at the end of the book detailing the work of Frank Reade as well as details of some other mechanical men.
I've dug out at least two of my Steamboy figures and are going to give the Hansom Cab pulled by a SteamMan a go (I think I know where the Eureka Cab is ).

I saw this advertised and thought it might be a starting point. But I had to look at the price twice. Yes that is Five figures.

Unless someone can prove otherwise, I refuse to belive that he has sold even one of those things. Maddness.
