Simple Ramshackle Conversion
« on: 11 July 2011, 08:32:46 PM »
Just a couple of pics of my latest steam wagon. This is an upgrade of Professor Hinchcliffe's "urban" Steam Carriage model  with four wheel drive and a 2lb main gun.
( Ramshackle Games "Brass Coffin" with large rear wheels, scratch-built turret and an added smokestack)





Still needs weathering and basing which I should get around to shortly as I'm on leave soon for a couple of weeks.

As usual you get a  :o  :-*  8)  :D

Should be just right for mashing up zombies.

Beautiful stuff - nice conversion, lovely paintjob (you're a master of the black and brass scheme!), great backstory (four-wheel drive!) and it's great to see you back on track with this project. I hadn't seen a post from you in a while, so it's good to see/hear you back on the job!

You paint a really beautiful black.  You must have gone through pots of it so far with this Victorian zombie project.   :)

Sorry for my belated reply.
Thanks for the comments and yes I DO go through a lot of black ( wait to see "Dead Reckoning" 1887 Style)

Curtis I've just based and weathered this one so I'll post some finished pics.
I know you always ask but if I post any ramshackle stuff, just take it as read you can include it in your gallery. Oh and cheers for the extra bits, you must have known I'd have to use them!!! :D
