lol....and then they trodd off without questioning any further that cappy father... thats catholic established authority^^

Off to the gene banks for them!

well of course... there is a fortune in sperms^^

Well, then there are the organ banks

and the mincer too...now we are a bit going too far..? or not...

Modern hive city life, standard rations are made from bodies and ar referred to as corpse starch rations...or in Sandy Mitchell books Soylens-viridiens^^

yep that concept is pretty old now... from now and then it turns up... but ona serious note, human protein is to 100% usable for own bodyprocesses... whereas pork or beef or sheeps have rather less usable proteins in their meat... not even beginning to talk about soya...

'Tis why humans are Omnivores, gathering nutrients from many sources

Got Tank?

well still no tank uodate i am afraid...BUT!

have you ever heard of true altruism? no...well it doesn´t exist in it´s pure form...
BUT, some people can be quite nice and like to give...one of these rare and fair persons recently nonplussed me with a totaly unexpected gesture...the outcome of this i proudly present to you now...due to the nature of the thing i will handle this afair in a seperate thread, as i think the subject deserves it to be shown in full zoom^^ so to speak...you are still in the dark about what i am rambling about?

well then let me present you with these new additions to the fold:




*bows before the generous supporter* vik

WOOOHOOOO

Her Majesty has arrived!

Seeing her general shape and posture it should be possible to make her an Iron Lung to complete the lore.

Well, she looks definately...victorian
And those Highlander guards are quite promising, can't wait to see what you make out of them
Cheers
Klaus

If the names still amiss, please could one of them be named Dennis Amiss, former Warwickshire and England batsman?

yep that is a definite...one will go into the iron lung and the other could even either end up as a statue or will be a flashback version before her dear hubby died...

as for the Dòmhnall Dubh`s 32th light infantry regiment...

their destiny in the fields can be followed here:

off for now but maybe i have something inthe works for you to oggle on^^ later that day^^


cheers, and over, vik

*peers at*

All hail the queen..Vik

Now just convert her a iron lung and your all set.
The Body gaurds and doppleganger are cool, look like steampunk environmental suits, do they have torsos too?

Just had a though Vik, you could have a john brown scottish adaptus custodes with kilts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_%28servant%29

*hints*

but i think this could be a nice addition to the HQ i have to think about how to interpret this into my own views then...

You know, this is Steampunk. It would be possible for Her Majesty to look completely normal on the front, and then have an enormous walking, rolling or crawling Apparatus attached to her back. I know the Queen Victoria in The Affinity Bridge had an 'iron lung'-like life support system, with her lungs replaced with leather bellows and her heart supported by a pump.

now this is an even better idea than my can idea i had... thanks anvil, i will really try to make this one a working thing...hmmm maybe i could cobble something together like the orcish equivalent of grotzes to move the thing around...

Hey Vik, can I ask were you found the Queen Vic model?

I love this thread it is very interesting, more so to a Steampunk enthusiast

Why thank you Vik.

I have been watching this and the Air Ship thread for sometime now. Some of the more entertaining threads on Dakka by far

Would love to see all of your stuff together at some point

me too mate, preferably with a finished paintjob^^

and one day the time will come...my guilty feeling about the tank is growing...here is hoping it will lead me to finish it soon^^

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

With swappableweapons too.

Oh you're a bad man for posting that link vik. I seriously cannot afford to buy anything at the moment.

those had me thinking too^^

I totally had nothing to do with any of this.....

Cool link , i want brassy stuff and i want it now, with cogs on !

brass is cool, warm feel, slick surface and suitable tough to use for oh so many purposes...wanna^^
