I finally got my Mage-Knight Steam Tinkers from the US ( 6 week wait!!!) and have converted one into "Professor Niles' Patented Fighting Trousers"

The original mini is a little rough but I can't complain for .99 Cents!


I remodelled the body of the pilot ( almost entirely!!) and replaced the circular saw with a Gatling.

Great work with a really nice result.

Love the look of determination on the new figure.

You sir did indeed remodel the body. I hadn't noticed the first time i looked on the first pic but you turned the body from that of a dwarf to that of a human. Bravo.  :-)

More great work Pappa. You certainly have the eye (and skill) to see and pull off these wonderful creations
