Very nice indeed. As it happens, I've just finished a similar contraption of my own (great minds are alike...

). I have posted some pics in a new topic (this one being rightfully reserved for Pappa's effort). The interesting thing is that I also used SF walker legs (from the Airfix range), but came up with a totally different body.

Nice work!!

Hmm. Lovely work, but I'm afraid that doesn't look the slightest bit Victorian to me, even with the boiler and lamps.

It looks like a futuristic walker with a boiler and some lamps stuck on it. Maybe the rivets and paint-job will bring it to life in a Victorian way?

Sorry. I don't want to be a downer, but I do want to be honest.

Edit: I just took a look at your finished low-rider and was bowled over by it. It has led me to reconsider. I think I was a little hasty just now, so please disregard what I just said. I shall wait until it is finished before getting on my high horse again.

Excellent, Sir!

I envy your skills!

Thank you all for the comments and feedback!

I've added some rivets and a Victorian gent at the controls.
I will probably go afor a Black and Brass colour scheme to fit in with my bike.

Pilot detail

I think the rivets give it a less "Futuristic" feel, what do you think?

I agree with Plynkes' comment but did not have a problem accepting this as you intended it. The rivets and the pilot have addressed it exceptionally well and I think when you paint it it will move on again.

It is a wonderful piece of work and one you should be extremely proud of - I know I would be.

Can't wait to see it painted!

The pilot does it for me, excellent.

Excellent - the rivits certainly help to make it look more victorian, and the pilot is perfect for the model. Can't wait to see the painted version.

A real cool conversion. Gratulation!
I wish I would have a good idea myself for VSF or Pulp...

Looking great mate, it'll look great next to I.K.B and his bike.

Cheers

This looks superb.

I finally found some time to finish my walker!
I chose the same colour scheme as my Steam Bike to fit in with IKB's Extraordinary Mercenary Unit.

Hope you like it.
