The Stepney Job - A Victorian Bank Robbery (WIP)

[Thunderchicken]

I've been working on a project for this years BLAM but recently I've been distracted. I thought if I followed what others have done and posted my progress you guys would get on my case and encourage me to finish it in time for November. So here goes....

Firstly, apologies for the quality of the pics, the only camera I have at present is on my mobile phone. These are just teaser pics, I promise I will post better quality prints soon.

The game will be a Victorian version of the Italian Job but set in Stepney, East London. The scenario is simply for the blaggers to get away with their booty. I'm still working on the finer details. During their escape they will be hunted by the police but will have accomplices to help them along their route. To add some spice to the game there will be randomly generated encounters with vigilantes and friendlies along the way.  

Anyway, (apart from Overlord's excellent Geezers) here's my inspiration:



Here are the getaway contraptions, the VSF bit. From left to right; Charlie Croker, Big William and Camp Freddy. Vehicles are converted Eureka Armoured Penny Farthings and the drivers are Copplestone pilots.




Here are some of the police vehicles that will be attempting to apprehend them. First the mariah, I've made two of these, converted from Lledo Days Gone By wagons. The driver is from Redoubt's Zulu war range, helmet badge added by Svennn. It still has to be finished; basing, reigns to be added and the coat of arms is only temporary until I can get my hands on decals.




Fast Response Team (Foundry). I'll have a couple of these.




Here's the target. The first ever cashpoint machine (ATM), hydraulically powered. Another VSF bit. It's actually a Confession Machine by Maxmini. Guarded 24 hours by an armed uniformed constable (paid for by the bank) and plain clothed security guards, probably armed too.





So that's it for now, still heaps to do so would appreciate it if you got on my case from time to time for updates.

The following chaps deserve much credit. Svennn for helping me with the horses and other bits you will see soon. Jimbibbly for the women (all will be revealed) and of course Malamute for his unceasing valuable advice and p**s taking.

Nice to see the Confession Machine in action, I've been planning a scenario revolving around one or two of those myself.

Wagon is very nice indeed.

By the way did I tell you? You are not allowed to run this at the same time as my game because I want to play.
