Subject: Imperial Steam Punk (update detailed boiler and victorian ting...on last page...)

and chibi, yep zen of modeling...to all, you should see his detail work on a 1:76 scale planes he´s done... then you really know about tweezer controll...

Automatically Appended Next Post: hello fellow dakkas, today i want to show you some pics i am really proud of. my second son felix had a creatice go on his fathers airship and let some plastic teddybears take over^^
he also decorated the bridge with lil glas gems and some cards from a game...
he is rather the creative one in our offspring and i have high hopes for him...
so without further addo behold the true undiluted creative mind of a four year old boy...something we all hopefully wont have extinguished in ourself...

Actually just noticed the gems , very symetrical, but a bit too Eldar though, but those bears do look a bit like space marines. Imperial Fists, Blood Angels. Ultra Marines and Dark angels spring to mind for some reason....
Automatically Appended Next Post: have you seen this
at neil well that pic i must have overread...seems like someone nicked my ideas beforehand^^
looks mighty similar and i solemny swear i never saw it before^^
well back on topic, made some progress with the major engine for forward propulsion...sponsored by a kind soul namely chibi...
hope you recognize your contribution...
so here bear with me the true engine of destruction^^
made from a cone for playing in the garden, some sprues, an a filter i got god knows where (the blue thing)
hope you like it...there will be a big pipe leading to the boiler to have the steamgenerated engergie go to the engine...i think the idea of having large transportbelts and big wheels is out of the questions due to massive lack of vast areas of available place to spend...

You know.... you really cannot go wrong if you name the airship "ARK ROYAL". Proud history with that name..... as in the aircraft carrier that participated in the killing of the Bismark.
Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!
Office of Naval Intelligence Research discovers 3 out of 4 sailors make up 75% of U.S. Navy.

Victorious had a more prestigious war record
Her Barracudas attacked and damaged the Tirpitz keeping her at anchor in Norway
Went east and hit by kamikazes in the Pacific
Was refitted with the first ever angled flight deck and continued on into the cold war era.
Oh and she also played a decisive role in the hunt for the Bismark
