Poor lighting and obsolete digicamera have made this a pretty dodgy pic, but you get the idea

Looks great but should that be 'all leather' or 'all weather'?

I prefer "all-leather" for some reason ;)

Nice work Freelancer, I love the blues on the professor's quilted jacket.

Wheels are from an old GW kit (Gorka Morka Orks I think)

looks good.

What did you use for the truck?

I want to build a steam Omnibus for my IHMN-EOTD games in London and this looks just the ticket!

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

It was a Matchbox Models of Yesteryear range. The local market has a guy who sells collectable toy cars. This one was out of its box so he sold it to me for $10. I made it even less collectable by tearing the wheels off and adding heavy metal wheels :D

Thanks for the tip - those look great and very appropriate for the setting. (Of course, now that the word is out their prices will skyrocket on ebay!  :o)
