Steam powered penny farthing

Penny Farthing by Design 28.

That is an excellent "add-on" for an Adventurer team in VSF.

Edit:  It would be a stronger temptation if there was a figure for the driver dismounted and vehicle without driver.  The War Game and RPG usability would be much higher as a set.

I gather, part of a group, Lord Fecitt and Hunting Party, on-foot gun toter and a mechanical hound, as well. Would be nice to have m'lord standing, with hunting piece in hand.

Not sure such a civvie would last all that long in any of our games.  Careening around the table, he would just, metaphorically, scream 'target"! Figure crashed-and-burnt would be almost as useful.

I saw the figure more as Mounted Infantry/dragoon like US cavalry of the era than a dashing Hussar/Cuirassier.

In modern terms an APC not an AFV/ICV.

This is the set from Design 28 via Black Pyramid Gaming. Lord Fecitt on his steam powered Penny Farthing, his Ghillie with a brace of guns and a canine automata bearing a peforated rabbit. They were a treat to paint!

Not sure I see him with lance or saber. But, I've seen more radical conversions... 

I do think I've a Colonel Moran with deerstalker and Von Herder kurbelspanner rifle that might work, assuming I can find same.

Thanks again, Gov!

No, Lancers are best mounted on unicycles.

Great miniature! I'm going to look for one of these! 

[Metternich]

That is simply brilliant.

[Captain Darling]

This looks great, I wish they would sell the bike as a separate item allowing (cavarly) figures to be adapted to use it...

[mysteriousbill]

I agree. I could use 10 for a cavalry unit for gaslight.

[Metternich]

That is wonderful, and complements Eureka's
