Maybe it will make the next IPMS magazine - who knows.
Thanks for the comments.

Here are some closer up shots of the figures with the Fowler traction engine.
The picture that started it all can be seen here http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205238197

Them figures really set the scene.  Did you have to modify them or are they built posed like that?  Wish I could find summat similar in 1/72 for that wretched camp!

I did modify them a little, they all had rifles, so I messed about with different arms and bent some a little to put pick and so on instead of rifles.
They are from Masterbox, do they do 1/76 (72)?
These come in various bits and you stick them together, the problem with smaller scales is that they are polyethylene and are very soft and difficult to work with.

Lost for words............again.

Thanks for the comment, oh great fishy one.
Well steaming ahead, its now onto a Foden steam wagon, this was already started but now I have cast the wheels. See page 31 for the start of the boiler.
Here is the construction of the rear springs.
15 thou plastic card is glued around a wooden former and left until set and then removed.

You're just too good for us lot!!

I´ve got it....you`re not human are you. Are you a visitor from planet resin or summat. Fantastic work and your pace is breathtaking. We mere mortals have hardly time to catch our breath. I am still enjoying the last pictures and you come with more from another new project. In terms of weapons you are definately belt fed!!! Amazing, truly amazing!!! I feel very humble.

Well the allotment will need to be worked on and TV is very boring, so what else can I do?

Hi Zak,

Its a pity you weren't around in the last war, we would have had loads of Tanks and Guns built in a matter of days!!
Fantastic stuff, that WWI stuff, just fantastic...........................
I'm off to the bathroom now to be sick.......
Joking apart, Well done mate.

I try not to rush but.............................................
Speed King - for the musical among you.

Here is a little more progress.
The wheels have been cast and the chassis built.
I added some brass strengthening along the chassis as it seemed a bit flimsy.
It is not quite level, but some padding is needed under the rear springs.

Now I have to work out where all the gears and so on go.
The vehicle was driven by a single chain to the rear wheel and had a rear brake on the other side.

This is an overtype steam waggon and the cylinders are on top of the boiler.

Working on the firebox and cylinders, it seems to be slow going.
Anyway some progress.
Still bits to drill out and crankshafts to add.

you really are a speed king, does this mean that you are going to paint it deep purple?

Possibly with some smoke on the water.
