A wonderful addition to the genre of fantasy renaissance wargaming. I look forward to seeing it completed and crewed.

I'm sorry, I meant when you decide to abandon the project, I'll trade you for it.

My poor old mum suffered from a stroke the other weekend so have been in and out of Bodelwyddan hospital in North Wales for the last 2 weeks or so. Operation today and now at Wrexham hospital so will be visiting there later..... anyway, last addition to the ship was a rear section...early days as usual....I make it up as I go along so we'll see what we see when we see it!

Thank you. Saw her today and is coming along well, all things considered!

The wheels were off eBay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trent-Miniatures-WHEELS-LARGE-SPOKED-WHEELS-Wargames-28mm-Diameter-/181985311740

My thoughts with you and your mother too. The wood looks so loved/old having been sanded so much.

Great work! Can't wait to see more of it.

Just one thing bothering me... with that huge stern addition and the already largish forecastle, the four wheels it uses for support are looking increasingly fragile. I know this is fantasy and all, but you might think about adding more sets of wheels to make the whole thing seem more mobile. As is, I can see it all too easily getting bogged down in soft ground.

Or just ignore my observation. It's fantasy! <g>

I've been thinking the same Phil but not sure I have the will to change them now.....

Just back from seeing my mum and she's doing ok all things considered, thanks to all for your kind thoughts.

Latest update from the other night before I ran out of super glue....bought a load but it is very well hidden

Interesting "outrigger" platform on the starboard side. Are you planning on a matching platform on the other side too?

The Dozing Dragon · « **Reply #26 on:** April 14, 2016, 11:26:59 PM »

I'm thinking of a stable/platform for some cavalry on the other side but early days as yet!

Your Steam Thingy is a WONDERFULLY outlandish, HIGHLY imaginative creation. OUTSTANDING WORK!
I hope your Mom continues to progress in her recovery.

A land-bound dwarven battlestar? Goat-riding interceptors? Some kind of mounts that have a really solid charge and rip & tear with the best of them, but don't have the endurance for a whole field battle's worth of manoeuvring? Big cats, perhaps, for the pounce. Of course, then you have to stick Hasslefree's dwarf Adama & Tigh on there somewhere.

Really nice model so far. Can't wait to see what happens with it - the thread's title really doesn't do it justice.
