Thank you all for the comments, I've really enjoyed building this little beasty and I'm glad you like it!

The unfortunate side-effect is that I'm now looking at models and thinking " I wonder what it would look like with a steam boiler...........?" :D

This VSF is very addictive!!!

I take my top hat to you Sir. That is a most splendid looking model and the most inspired use of Isembard.  :)

As you say VSF is very addictive ;D

Great stuff.

Simple and effective colour scheme which has given me an idea for the Impervious Suits Malamute and I are scratching our heads over.

Yeah, wow really great work! Amazing conversion work there.

Nice meeting you at Games Expo, I had a good time.

Funilly enough though, my sculpt looks a bit unbalanced with IKB when you remove his HUGE gun!

A most splendid use of the mundane Hot Wheels drag bike. I love the way it all comes to gethere with the paint job. The skills of the people here at the LAF are simply amazing. I'm inspired to try and finish my near-future version now. Pictures promised if I can ever get a new camera. :?

Thanks Curtis, it was nice to put a name to a face aswell!!!
I see where you are coming from Re: the balance of the mini. I tried to off-set it with the Elelephant gun ( maybe I should have used a bigger one!!). Originally I was going to have him off the base totally and leaning on his bike ( foot up on one of the pistons) but I wanted to keep him and the bike playable.

Hope the Expo went well for you!
