Thank all for your very kind words.  I am very humbled to have been included in such august company. 

argsilverson, former user,
  All the ground crew are from Redoubt's Victoriana Steam Tank Crew.  The crewman with the semaphore flags was originally holding a priming rod.  There's also a crewman carrying a coal sack & one leaning on a shovel that I have painted but didn't include in the picture.

The 'thopter is from Ral Partha & originally had a dwarf engineer as a pilot.  The replacement is the seated gunner from RAFM's Riel Rebellion Gatling Gun pack.  The Hotchkiss MG is from Lyzard's Grin.

Now that I have been through all 4 groups of builds I must say that there are some very fine models in each of the groups and the decision making process was a difficult one. Best of luck to all who completed their projects on time. It will be most interesting to see how this plays out.
