 :o  Well Done, great job Mate, when you were talking about this on Saturday I was once again proven right, You're not quite right. The chop turned out excellent, can't wait to see it painted.  Now to talk you into converting that huge walker to steam power (ha ha ha)

 Cheers

The word "unique" is bandied around far too frequently, but this marvellous machine is just that!

Brilliant concept, superbly executed  :-*

Now listen here young Fritzy, that large walker is for Weird War II........although I have found a boiler which is spot on for scale.........Arrghh!

Malamute: Er, sorry about that. I assumed it was a Victorian Gentleman from Westwind. My post has been altered to that effect. :D

Gluteus Maximus: I am honoured by your comment. It makes the last 30+ years of trying to get things out of my head and onto the games table worth while. Cheers mate!!! :)

Finally finished my Steam Powered Chop!
I've modded a IK Brunel mini from Ramshackle Games as a pilot.
Hope you like it!







I've also done an unmounted version of IK Brunel ( minus his oversized weapons)

Very cool!  8) Love the colour scheme.  But, are you sure that Man was meant to travel at the speeds this monster will generate? Why, it must reach 20 mph, at the very least!  :o

The final result has more than lived up to the initial promise. I love the black and gold paintjob - very Victorian  :)

IK Brunel is perfect as the rider. That hat looks so incongruous on a motorbike that it's inspired. The firearms are a great improvement too.

All in all, probably the best VSF model I've seen all year.
