Pulp Steam Shovel WIP

[Peter@BattleScape]

Steam Shovels really are the greatest. When I was a wee lad there was a TV show called "Mr Squiggle" and on it was puppet steam shovel that would squirt white powder from his stack when he was excited....it would go all over the female host.

I foresee a court case soonish!

The truck front is a rather unconventional add-on, but is interesting and simply adds a set of steering gear and a better driving position for those times the steam shovel needs to drive down regular roads

Or if its going to drive into the deep jungle in search of a mysterious lost temple. The truck front is a little unusual but the truck model gave me a base to start building onto which made the job much faster. There might be precedent in the real world but so far all I have found is this picture of an old toy steam shovel/truck combo:

Of course, it's just like it was built for that!

I love the patina of age and wear on this toy. 
For a moment I thought you had painted your incredible model already!
I look forward to seeing how you paint yours.

I'm into the painting process now. I decided to use some water-solvable oil paints I received for Christmas. Oil paint will allow for some interesting blending and a more earthy patina I think. The down-side is the drying time which can be several days.

Cool, I'm looking forward to seeing how the oil paints look.

Beautiful!

I'm well into the painting. Once the basic oil paint coat is dry I'll be onto weathering.

[FramFramson]

That's already looking MIGHTY fine.

Looks fantastic!  I am surprised though that no one has asked when you will be releasing a steam truck?  You are going to be making this a mold right?

Looks fantastic Bob.  Great build.
