rkennerley Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 this is yet to be name but ill come up with some thing i might even have a bash at doing a back story but build comes first .What i am going to try and do is take this box that was sold to me as a "plane" but by the looks of some of the parts i have no idea where they would go(lets just say a lot of it is just moulded flash and cant not be described as parts) but i shell attempt to create something any mad Victorian scientist would be proud of i will be using the body and wings and going from there with a lot of modification as well as replacing the engines with 4 rotary steam engines i might add some more for the hell of it i am also contemplating doing up the interior with a cut away in the side but i dont know if there is enough time to do it so we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkennerley Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 after a few variants of the engines i have settled on this i did want to make them with moving parts but it would have take me a month just to build one motor so i have settled for this to be the forward wing motors i will be redoing the brass to get it a bit brighter and then it is just a case of building 3 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
