Christ! That's awesome!  :o
Is it a converted model, or built from scratch?

Some more pics and details, fresh from the camera. It started with two cheap kits, lots of parts added, 200+ rivets punched and placed, then finished with airbrush and oils. I documented the building process as usual  :D and will show you later.

Have fun!

This is beautiful!  Great build and great paintjob!   I see parts to the 1829 Stephenson's Rocket kit by minicraft.  I recently picked one up and trying to figure out something for it.   Thanks for the inspiration!  

first post in almost two years, wow! lol
