2 Horse Power Steam Coach ...* FINISHED PICTURES ADDED *

[Pappa Midnight]

Thanks for the comments and encouragement!

I've had a bit of a lazy day today but I will be cracking on with the driver and control sytem shortly.

Malamute: I got the MK steam horses from the US on Ebay. Just look for "Dwarven Mounted Fuser" it's from the Whirlwind range of MK.

Well, after reading a bit of the old typing (thanks Fritzy), I'll just wait as PM works away on his latest.

No bank holidays on the horizon I trust. Heh.

Good to know there's something cool in the works (thanks Fritzy ya ought to be in marketing).

adieu, ta, laterz

I decided that I didn't like the roof on the coach ( far too Cinderella!!!) so I scratchbuilt one with some plastic-card.
I've finished the control levers and altered the driver with some limb alterations and green-stuff.

NEW ROOF:


CONTROLS:


DRIVER:


I'll slap some paint on this during the week.

  It's comming along well mate, driver looks excellent and the controls look great as you have them. I have mixed feelings about the roof though. I don't know which I like best, they both give the carriage a totally different look and both look great

Cheers

Ah, now thas a good update

I like the controls.

The roof change is for the best I think.

Thanks man.

Stunning Work Sir!!  :othe roof change brings it from the 17th cent. to the 19th instantly!! I saw a box of these at micheals the other week might have to pick them up, though I don't think I'll be able to finish them to your level ! is that brake handle completely scratch made?

I'm with you there, PM: not so much that I don't like the original roof, but this personalizes the model more.  One should always aim to replace a "major feature" to reach that aim, I feel.  The flat roof also invites the mounting of some sort of weapon (Gatling, Gatling???...).

Its coming on nicely. I agree re the roof, more late C19th with a flat roof and an ideal place for a Gatling...
Looking forward to seeing how you paint it.

[Pappa Midnight]

I've had a bit of a busy week at work and have had little time for painting etc ( Too tired!!!).
I thought I'd finish off my Steam Coach.









I'm pretty pleased how it's turned out.

I'm working on an alternative roof with a Howitzer mounted to ward off any would-be attackers.

Thats amazing.

[Gluteus Maximus]

As good - if not better- than your other VSF contraptions.

Stunning work 

Worth missing Father Ted re-runs on satellite tv for

      The finishing touches brought it together really well. Looks better than the other night. I'm lucky in that I get to see it in the flesh through the process, (and I still haven't discovered his secret). Now to try and get the one you donated to my cause to look half as good. Better get the VOODOO that YOUDOO book out again and sacrifice a KFC Bargain Bucket, felt sorry for the live chicken .

Keep up the great work, and use the Buzz Saw, or the Rail gun, or the really small gatling gun you have floating round your bits box.

Cheers
