Thank you very much Gents. Must say apart from the rushed basic paint job I was rather pleased with it myself. The varnish does not hide the decals on the roof either (Imperial Forge decals by the way) which is a shame. Will have to look at that. The main fascia looks a little plain too so I may add some rivets - just to keep Dewbakuk happy (there are some around the steam power plant mind).
Alcide Nikopol, I nearly did this as a WIP but didnt think it would have much appeal. I do have this one shot which shows it is just plasticard and drinking straws.


The curtains are printed on the inkjet and I did what I do with flags and banners. Fold it flat so it is double thickness (this is obvious with flags, these were done along the top edges) and glue together with PVA. When it is dry you have a stiffer, hardier sheet which will retain the bends and folds.

Shoot it down eh Malamullet - you will have to get past my next infernal contraption first. I have started on it and it is far whackier than a floating sedan chair with a machine gun ;D
