A link for inspiration. More on the troops than the vehicles. They mentioned something about "torsos" from a company.

How steampunked do you want them? My Wild West VSF force is a bit steampunk but the troops are fairly standard with some steampunk specials. I have a new unit about to be started which might work, do I have until the weekend to try and get one done?

So many projects..... so little time.......

Right, knocked one up today. Bear in mind it's a 'proof of concept' model so the greenstuff isn't as neat as it should be but it gives the idea. I'll give it a quick paint job later this week, the multiple barrels don't show up very well like this.

It's a Warlord Games plastic British soldier with one of my steampunk heads and a scratchbuilt gatling rifle. Assuming I'm happy with the end result I'll make a better weapon and do some arms around it then cast them. That way I can just stick the bits straight onto a plastic body. Assuming it works and is liked, I'd be happy to cast them for others.
