Whiskyrat, here is a link to how I built the Tramp Steamer:

I have some sketches for an updated and cleaned up version in the works :)

Nice first effort - hats off to you Sir!

Rob, I picked up the Steam Tinkers at TrollandToad.com for .49 cents each not to long ago. Looking for a source of Pith helmeted heads though, to replace the stock dwarven wild haired head, though the goggles are nice, maybe just putting a pith helmet on the exsisting head some how.. hmmm. Also going to mix and match some of the wielded weapons to give a bit of variety.

A quick look at my location will tell you I live in the UK and the postage would be hell!

Pith helmets? Look at Empress Miniatures! Brigade Games stock them in the US. Lovely sculpts.  :D

Yeah, Empress has both pith helmets and loose heads with pith helmets.

But if you want something other, you can try the Ramshackle heads with pith helmet and gasmasks...

Empress Miniature head sets, I suspect your refering to the: Head sprue with Adrian Helmet, as most the rest are berets, fez's or turbans.

Empress do British Heads in Sun Helmets and Glengarries in their Zulu range as well as a nice variety of heads with Adrian, Spanish and Czeck helmets as well as a garrison cap.

Artizan do some really nice WW2 Italian heads in sun helmets with goggles


West Wind probably has the largest assortment of heads available. I just don't have the time to do a head count.

I have used both the Ramshackle and Empress heads for my Victorian Brits and I can recommend both.

Back from a 1:1 scale painting job, I like the assorted hat and ammo cases! Looks like Field packs and bundles also, can hang some of those off the sides of the Meachanified Troopers.... Hmmmm more modeling ideas sprouting as I ponder.
