Huge Walker - HMSW Gargant - construction begins.
« on: 12 June 2011, 12:08:17 PM »
Hi all.

I've just posted pics of the early stages of my new project - a huge steam-powered walker, along similar lines to the smaller one on my blog, but destined to be truly massive.

For those of you who like to see pics up here:


Hope you like!

Bloody 'ell, Colonel!  :o Is that meant to take a battalion?  ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing the final result.

Might be the white, but the cursive nature seems to make the letters bleed a bit together. I can read, but find it a little daunting.

Now, the dark blue on black I've seen some other places makes yours look incredibly legible. ;->=

How soon will we see a leg?

OK - I'll think about changing the blog text - no promises!

As for when you get to see my legs... be patient! I'm having a spot of bother with my hips!

Could be my Mac , otherwise my eyes as the letters just seem to be very hard to read.

just had another look, I think its just the irregular nature of the white script. Looks pretty though. ;)
