Gears, Steampunk needs gears

Dry fit - yeah, Guv'nor, we can drive backwards

The turbine idea got scrapped later 🙁

December 23, 2016
Fiddly and skewed (still)
24
December 23, 2016
Some more random stuff added
25
December 23, 2016
The mechanism was supposed to be "workable"...
26
December 23, 2016
...but in order to get a halfway decent fit...
27
December 23, 2016
...I had to glue everything into place...

Every proper diorama should have a phone booth
39
December 27, 2016
These decals are pretty good
40
December 27, 2016
Somebody want to weld something
41
December 27, 2016
If you'd think this' looking creepy, I'd concur
42
December 28, 2016
The pilot was supposed to be an (albeit cheap) 1:24 figure but looks like a child in comparison. My self-made goggles are, erm, also slight out of proportion :-/
43
December 31, 2016
The close-up of my 1:24 figures are not really flattering for my painting skills.
44
December 31, 2016
Brigitte LaFayette looks good, thoug, which is mainly due to the fantastic molding of this Scale75 figure.
45
January 1, 2017
Dress rehearsal (the infamous Professor Catmeister has everything under control from his elevated vantage point on the garden table)
46
January 1, 2017
Some of this stuff will be used, some not 🙁
47
January 1, 2017
The infamous Professor Catmeister sports a stylish vest and hat as well as goggles and whiskers (from rigging wire)
48
January 15, 2017
A little bit of progress (not much - due to lack of time), the base...
49
January 15, 2017
...uses some elements from the Doozy Model Works Sets
50
January 22, 2017
This 3D printed diorama accessories are quite OK
51
January 22, 2017
Final layout (bird's eye)
52
January 22, 2017
Prelim arrangement (I am always guilty of the sin of putting-too-much-stuff-into-a-too-small-space)
53
January 22, 2017
Main focus
54

Welder girl

Steampunk needs gears (these are actually from thingiverse.com and are printed nicely even on my entry level Dremel 3D printer): thingiverse.com/thing:623706/#files and thingiverse.com/thing:684376/#files
60
January 29, 2017
Finished (except for the temp backdrop - of course - there will be no Gary Larson cows driving a tractor later!)
61
January 29, 2017
Some fun with effects within Photos
62
January 29, 2017
The fuel is surprisingly cheap at Claudi's Emporium...
63

If you charge more than ten bucks, girl, I'll shoot you!

Tanabe
Wow now that's what I like nice work

27 December 2016, 01:23

Martin R.
@MRMLA: You ask me what kind of power? It is STEAM power! (I wonder if anyone got my weird "Remember The Titans" movie reference...)

27 December 2016, 08:59

Martin R.
Thanks everyone for the kind words!

27 December 2016, 09:00

"It is too fast!"
"How fast it is?"

Fantastic. I bet the ears get hot while driving with those two boilers either side.

23 January 2017, 07:41

Bart Goesaert
nice build... nothing can beat a well executed steampunk theme...

23 January 2017, 08:25

Choppa Nutta
Love it !! 🙂

28 January 2017, 23:02

Martin R.
Thanks everyone!

There is always stuff to improve but I called it complete today. The kit-bashing of the Talbot with the steam engine was easily the most fun I had in modeling!

Up to the next project (whatever that will be)...

29 January 2017, 13:22

Choppa Nutta
more imaginative kit bashing one hopes😉

29 January 2017, 13:30
