Is that figure a conversion? Pose looks familiar but not the head.

Reminds me, in a good way, of Dr. Snuggles (who had a rocket ship so now I am thinking of VSF Critters ::))

He looks very suitable to go with your sketches and the animals.

Looks like Foundry Old West/Victorian Gents conversion: Cooper Creel or Major Edwards (Same body)

Conversion looks spot-on.  :)

others will follow, provided they find the Victorian figurines

Can't make out what the base figure is, but I like what I'm seeing! Top-hatted gentleman in boiler-powered armour, what's not to love? Can't wait to see more!

i had beheaded a "foundry" 
the body is a plastic marine Viridian which I added the boiler, rivets and removed a few small pieces of armor. I also added a gun to give him a little more Victorian side (nothing complicated)

Ingenious! I would never have thought to use a saxon head, but it works very well as a Victorian one. The style of the hat looks very "nautical" to me and would work on merchant seamen etc (Mr Smee from Peter Pan?). A great idea that is worth exploring further  :D

I like that a lot. Well smart! I like the base with the flowers - contrasts well with the armoured figure.
