Doors to some kind of funky steam carriage?

Not a million miles away...

Steam powered water closet?

Tis part of the framework to Wellington Flannel's Apparatus of Abstruseness. Then again maybe not.

By the way, did you take the picture on a mysterious leather bound tome that contains the answer to almost everything including where all the odd socks go?

Reminds me of an enterance to a Bawdy House I frequented in the French Quarter....
many many years ago...

Just imagine a large mulato bouncer stood to one side, under moon light and you get the general picture....

where did you get the wrought iron from?

Aaron · « **Reply #21 on:** 21 August 2010, 04:02:56 PM »

I don't know where he got the ironwork from, but I've seen a lot of similar stuff from an ebayer called "everydaygoodz".

I got this from an e-bay seller in China called WeHonest
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/WEHONEST_Fences_W0QQ_fsubZ1772579012QQ_sidZ149381402QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322

the o guage one looks decent too

I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived as it is very fine and nicely cast. You get brick plinths and stantions too, they are a little less impressive having quite a bit of flash but nothing that cannot be cleaned up.

The gates are made from one piece of oo guage which I cut in half and then added strip to rebuild the edges. It is approx. 7cm wide.

The EveryDayGoodz looks like the same stuff, probably the same seller under another name, and has more listed at the moment

I would recomend it

I got a whole bunch of tree's from this guy a few months back... a whole Ardene's worth...
Worth taking the time to go through his listings, as most of the stuff he sells looks like OEM for "Western" based model train and architectural model makers supplies... check out the bulk buys on figures and on tree's etc etc...

Service was good and the quailty was also good, and the prices are amazing...

Thanks so much for those links Svenn! I needed exactly that material for a project I'm working on now.

Centaur_Seducer · « **Reply #25 on:** 24 August 2010, 11:22:26 AM »

I've shopped from the guy before and he has got some really nice stuff.
And besides, with the name "WeHonest", there's no room for bad feedback

As much as I liked the inspired idea of them being space marine shoulder pads I had to admit that there were not enough skulls so resorted to the original idea of an early VSF troop carrier/landing craft nef. Please excuse the crappy pics.
