Oooh i like Excalibur as well sharp and to the point as it were.

As long as it doesn't end up in a lake

and here we are again at seeing my airship sunk...this mental picture seems to be coming up every once in a while...does someone want to add OMEN?

out of interest, does someone think the name PHOENIX would be not suitable?

vik

engine pods are liked - all of this will look just right once painted brass and wrought iron

i think i will need a good tutorial to get some verdigris on these then...there will be quite a big need for that thech then...

vik

You know, your kid might be on to something there with that bridge design.

Yeah, the glass gems are a bit too Eldar, but the crennelated (up and down wall) look at the back, on a low level platform, could be pretty flash if modelled up all Victorianlich.

at anvildude...

your right, did you have something more like:


in mind?

i guess this would look really good and give the brigde some more posh look thats so victorian...will have a look if i can do that. and my son is very creative and as an eye for patterns that are decorative...

thanks for the point out

vik

Broken pic Vik.

well i have looked up some other detailshots of the tower brifge in london. its most fitting to anvildudes comment:





vik

something like that would look good on the steamship, i like the idea of metal iron work and stone bulidings together, and that is very gothic..when i bulit the inquisitorial tower ,i used wooden Dado rail or cornice pannel Decorative Mouldings to add pattern easily .

hey neil thats a good hint who to do it, i saw this on numerous times in the hardwareshop i often go...styro or wood either way would work good and add lots of texture...
we do have to let our children play more...

the things we could find out to see with childrens eyes...

vik

Nice ideas
A bridge fashioned after a bridge...

I would have the suspension arms on one side of the bridge supporting the flight deck just for the cool factor.

been to the tower bridge 3 times. It isn't very steampunk. I like the whole victorian bridge idea, but even though it is a victorian-era bridge...doesn't look right...
sorry I can't post pics, but try this:

Penny-farthing rough riders!
you know you want to.
a squad of them charging out of the zeppelin...

Penyy farthing roughriders lol , what about these mono wheel rough riders like thes
you should have a look at this website if you havent already its really good. http://davidszondy.com/future/war/gyro.htm



and if you need a tank for your commander

hello peeps, your all commitment now^^ cool.
at shrike: your link looks cool, i digested the essence of what you were trying to show me...

at chibi: i wont do an actual bridge, no sir^^ but i do have a railing to do there anyway so i might to do it with style and the towerbridge has a ton of it^^

at neil:
them "kugelpanzer"s look nice, saw them on shaso´s blog and the recent kugelpanzer thread as well. i like the idea, but i am not sure for my victorians if this would be the way...also i have bought six imperial pistoliers riders and hope they will be coming soon to present here^^...

tanks, well for the commander...after our recent discussion about the mark V i actually now am kind of in love with the A7V



although it is of german origin it looks for me most fitting for my victorians...

and about the penny farthing...at firt i thought it was about some small coins and some unhealthy winds...but after i googled it i came up with



and your not serious with me...do you really imagine stout Imperial guardsmen pedaling into battle on these things to face a raging horde of orcs or heretics...?

vik

that pic does it no justice...try this:

see? quite victorian...
And yes. I can imagine that. I am imagining it right now. lol.
this is a time of 9ft superhumans wearing invincible armour riding giant wolves- why not?
It will give you, me, your opponent, all here on dakka, your FLGS fellas, ect the lols.

hehe
Steam powered penny farthing bikers!!! FTW!!!

yep instant self owned then...
ouch that hurts...

and though steampunky as hell and with some engine it could travel a whole lot faster i always thought these wheels looked rather pathetic...
what should my children think of their father if i commited these sins...

ach ach und weh...

vik

well, DKoK can engineer thier mounts- why can't Praetorians?
It is fluffly plausible and funny. TBF, you have a giant balloon full of men. And you say bikes are OTT?

I see that you found the WWI tanks Vik! The A7v in 1/35th would be nice as 1/72 is harder to convert.

ah dont corner me man...on the web i dont have the same posabilities as with my kids as when they dont do my biddings...^^
well just let me say this: the rule of cool...
see your point is invalid as there is nooooo parallel universe yet so small as it might be as their inhabitants would think about a penny farthing to be looked at and see it as cool way of transportation...
i would gladly accept to use hoovers (vacuum cleaners for you colonials out there on that american landmass) as means of transportation than these wheels...

case closed and new inspirations accepted...

vik^^

at shaso:

yep the A7V i found but much earlier as i was searching for mark V templates and then this hit me... and to make one from scratch would seem a bit easier as it is mainly a box with treads and i think it is fairly easier than the mark V...

vik again...still not talking again about bicycles...lol

No worries Vik, I think that there is a 1/35th kit out there of the A7V, I nearly bought one once.
New stats in my tank thread to astound you as well.

yep read them but beeing a totaol noob ruleswise i could comment on these numbers as i cant understand that all...at all ^^

well, DKoK can engineer thier mounts-

As long as they don't mount their engineers!

Vik
Am fairly certain that Emher produce a 1/35 A7V
will see if i can find a link
problem is it won't be cheap

but what about the pe- >smack<

Chimeras!:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WESTON-TOY-CO-WW1-GERMAN-A7V-TANK-1-35-1-32-SCALE-/380262595327

Looks like Emhar only do it in 1/72 but Tauro do one in 1/35 but it may be out of production

saw some on ebay.de too a couple of days ago...but i want to do another scatchbuilt to battle hone my skills more^^
and to do it chaper...well in the first anyway...the airship prooves to be a can without a bottom... or better bottomless pit^^ lots of money poured in already...

at shrike:

but what about the pe- >smack<

exactly^^

your chimera idea at least is something that migt work...but you and me both now that to get more than six soldiers with their equipment inside that carriage would be tantamount to sexual harrasment^^

and also i will be using the glassesboxes i bought as small flying vessels...will there still be the need of chimeras ? hmmm have to think about that...
and:
you too man! sit down and have athought about what you just did!
