Victorian Panda Car

[Svennn]

Well I did say when I did the palanquin I had an even crazier idea. I shall go and pack ready for the men in white coats now.

That is crazy - but I like it.

[fastolfrus]

Looks awesome, but should the panda wear earmuffs ?

[gamer Mac]

WOW 
What a beast
I love the whole thing. VSF madness at it best.
Very nice figures as well
The painting is outstanding.
Where did you get the brass plates with the Chinese lettering from?
Good name

[Thunderchicken]

I love it!

, very cool! Although you've scuppered all your build contest entries by posting finished pics on the forum

[Totleben]

Too good to be true.

I have to admit to being too pleased with this to wait to show it and it would not have come close to some of the other proper builds in the WIP's anyway.

Colin, the plates are made using a rubber stamp and embossing powder onto card.


Let me know if you want some.

Yes please

Can you explain the process at bit more as well. It looks like a very interesting and useful idea.

[argsilverson]

Very nice and truly inspiring!

(Imagine how many loads of fresh cut bamboos are needed for a Panda of this size!)

its another one of my wifes craft/card making things. I drew up a bunch of symbols and then had a rubber plate made (we use them as printing plates at work). This video probably explains it a lot better than me trying

I will do a sheet for you and then you can cut them out and use them how you want. PM your address as I do not know if I still have it.
