MODELLING STEAMPUNK

[zak]

Well more progress, cutting up and sticking plastic card onto the model.

[zak]

Adding the driving/ track supports.

Here is another of the resin/white metal kit from Ironclad miniatures.

I suppose that just built itself while you weren't looking!!!!!!

Something like that, I built it while waiting for other bits to set/ dry.
They only have 5 or 6 bits, so assembly is a breeze, not much cleaning up was required as the casting were pretty good.

[zak]

More sticking bits of plastic card together.

[Haddock]

Looking good, will it have railings round it?

Yes it will, am I moving towards the dark side?

You've had your own little corner in the dark side for quite a while now.

Now that you are a fully paid up member of the dark side - shall we try and  temp the rest of the group over ??

[bridlufc]

Too many fiddly bits on the dark side for my liking, the  carpet monster would have a field day

[zak]

More bits of plastic stuck together, some of it quite small, it is riveting.

[zak]

Riveting continues ad infinitum, or that's what it feels like.

[Kiteman]

I take it that the rivets are bits of rod cut up and glued on. Would I be correct? .....and whats with the nipples then, where are they from?

[zak]

The nipples are some headlamps that I cast when making a model T Ford, they will serve as machine gun positions, or may some other type of weapon, who knows with Steampunk?
Yes the rivets are rod cut up and stuck on, I have a rivet making machine but it is not great.
