hmmm....there is a term here in german...it´s called "Fußhupe"... figure that one out yourself

Haha, she'd bark at you, and probably lick you to death or beat you to death with her tail, but she wouldn't bite

Well I bet I am a far better and more fearsome carnivore than her anyways... And don't forget about dogs best weapon... Big innocent eyes and soggy cold nose...fearsome armory all in themselves

And once more the Master shows us mere mortals how riveting should be done.

I am pretty sure you have probably built a steam powered teleporter, and beam straight to Dave's desk.

League logo is much better now Vik. I approve

lol...thats for approving!

and a steampunk teleporter...damn... there i again picture me doing a snazy lil terrain piece like this... cam... you have a dangerous mind on yours...i hope you have a weapon´s liscense for that!

The super heavy turtle is looking good!

You're lucky your nose doesn't work so well, That little dog could clear out a trench full of enemy troops with her farts too!

GAS! GAS! GAS!

Vik, have you checked mousemuffins news and rumors recently. They have one of their steampunk pistols completed, and are starting on the P1890 now. Life sized.

That's League-a-rific mate. Awesome.

and now for something completely different.

meet the Mousemuffins Plasmic Gattlinger, a steampunk prop.










The builder will need to supply a few of the parts, such as the barrels (pencils) and the scope tube (a short length of PVC pipe).

If THAT goes well, This:

Oy
It's been a while since I looked in on this thread...but my jaw quite literally just dropped.

Just leaving the pics here

Haha! well, that's one take on a P90.

but god d*** that is awesome! i want one... NOW!!

The fact that its all MDF, except the scope is a piece of PVC tube an the barrels are pencils, which you have to supply yourself, really shows what can be done now with the technology.

I've seen these guns now, and to call them awesome just doesn't cut it... Are they really lifesized?

That was the plan, to make steampunk cosplay weapons.

hey mates...

after a long wait... update time...:


this will need some serious riveting happening to it...

the turret got by the way magnetized so that it is able to turn on its axis....and the magnets are stubborn fridge madgnets... so strong to hold the turret and the upper half of the tank


they got a glue mix of PVA and super glue and even plastic glue to hold them sufficently!


also... as the upper half nears the riveting process one thing still needs to be done...i want to add viewpoints to the hull... after all they need to be able to see the enemy...

which one do you like more...the square one in PC or the round one?...i do have a preferrence but i want to check as i want to keep in the basic scheme of the tank...




thanks for looking, vik

Well as they were already cutting round holes for the steam stacks, I'd say stick with the round ones. I think that it would make an excellent contrast to all the straight lines.

Actually I'd say alternate them. The round square round looks really good.

i am a bit lost mate... should i use the square ones from your comments (white) or the round ones (black) or should i use both in alternation?... hmmm....really? (read your comment three times and now the puzzling is solved...^^ hmmm...unsure still...)

I think he means to alternate them vik. First a round one, then a square one, then back to round, then back to square.

Exactly.

You think that would make sense? What reason would the tank makers have for this? I am open for explanations and suggestions...

You could make the round ones view ports and the square ones firing ports, or vice versa. Just like the chimera kit has the round ports on the back for lasguns, you could have smaller turrets around the perimeter. But I think all round ports would be better, and still give I the old space ship vibe.

I am also favoring the rounded ones, specially since they will be easier to make even if this is the wrong motive

but have you seen the lower viewpoints/ fireing points?... They will get even shutters...(haven't shown these yet)...o haven't put them on since I am still waiting on those barking dogs barrel bitz from chaos...

Saw the lower ones before vik, just might make sense to have some upper ones for when your assaulting a city so you can shoot back at he people on the second and higher stories of a building. Also anti aircraft firing isn't a bad idea in current meta.

I think it should nave neon!! j/k round. Save the square ones, you may decide to mount something else to the hull before it's all over with.

Totally right! I was mentioning them in this context only to give some more food for thought...for me concepts have to be waterproof... Thus I think I need to make matching ones on the upper tier to have it all in one look...?!

Hmmm....what could be mounted there instead of any viewpoints?

I dunno..air conditioners?
