Pappa Midnight must be STOPPED!!!!!!
« on: 02 June 2008, 06:25:14 PM »
... Well, not this fine gentleman and fellow forum member himself, but one of the latest brainchilds from his brilliant (though shifted...) mind:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=5971.0

Her Majesty's Intelligence Service has learned that a foreign agent nicknamed "the Mad Hatter" (named after what he's always wearing topside) has stolen the vehicle and is planning to take it abroad!

Needless to say that we cannot afford this vehicle were to find its way to the continent and some foreign power...

Therefore our latest secret weapon - the Arachna Mk III - has been placed on active duty somewhat earlier than planned.  This low profile Gatling gun carrying steam walker (LPGCSW) was still undergoing secret trials in Northern Scotland but had already earned the nickname 'the Black Widowmaker" by the troops operating alongside it.  Its prime task will be recce duties and supporting advancing infantry with hellish firepower, but for the moment our spider is about to hunt the Mad Hatter down and reclaim Pappa Midnight's invention (or any parts remaining after the battle...).

Thunderchicken sighs. Looks sadly at his scratch build efforts. Quielty puts his scalpel down. Rises from his work desk and reaches for a cold beer to reflect on the magnificence displayed on this forum lately.

Bloody good work!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :-* :o

That is an amazing conversion! Absolutely brilliant!
I would never have thought of using "Robogear" for VSF. I've over-looked a huge resource for conversions!
I tip my hat to you Sir!!!!!!!

I do feel a bit sorry for the the guy fuelling the boiler. My stolen battle-suit hasn't got any "guns" but has super heated steam nozzles in the centre of its claws. The driver will be OK in an enclosed cab but the one on the back .....................OUCH!

Thanks for posting Rudi, that's made my day! :D

That is excellent  :-*

Mind you, I have no interest in VSF...no really.... ::)

You're most welcome, PM! (and thx to all the others for their very kind comments!).  About your battle-suit: it didn't carry any guns when it was stolen, but you know: you can't trust the "Mad Hatter"!

I purposely converted a black Foundry DA figure to operate the boiler and to shovel coal, not stick a nationality on the model (the figure being rather "neutral" in its appearance).

Since my models are made to game rather than display, I fitted a  "metal" plate on top of the wooden deck behind the boiler (to protect it from sparks).  This plate is made of magnetic strip (drybrused with gun metal) and the negro figure is also glued to a magnetic strip of the same size (I've taken care that the poles attracted each other before glueing the figure to its base).  This way, the figure stays put when the model is moved in battle, but can be removed easily when enough steam is available or the figure becomes a casualty.

I never heard of these things before! (Robogear)
thanks guys! After checking the net for them, I discovered one called a 'Sprut' that will be my next incursion into pulp sci-fi.
I have to find someplace that stocks these.
