Iain Ogilvie Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Wasn't intending to take part but could do with a bit of fun - so... I have a cunning plan... So cunning it involves a part started Russian submarine, a number of spare WW1 biplane components and misc. scrap box parts to create an Edwardian steam battleairship of His Majesty's Ist 'Fearnought' Squadron. Now - the sub was started years ago and is more than 25% done - but I'll be taking a razor saw to it and adding gargantuan amounts of British steel, aeronautical grade brass, copper, timber, fabric and stiff upper lip - so hoping you'll let me play Iain Edited February 4, 2012 by Iain (32SIG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm trying to think of something to build but my spares box is a little spartan, I'm really enjoying watching and commenting Takes me back to the days of playing Cthulhu by Gaslight - my character was a prototypical mad-scientist type, obsessed with hurling billiard balls at each other at high speed. He believed these collisions would generate sub-billiard particles which would revolutionise the bearing technology used in giant steam engines. He ended up in a straight jacket, drooling and raving about the giant aardvark that inhabited the Limehouse sewers as a result of too many failed SAN rolls. Mind you even at the best of time he only had a fingernail grip on reality! Great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime your comments are very welcome. You could even equip a Victorian figure with a space marine laser or something- it doesn't have to be a huge project I still enjoy playing Cthulu ( named my cat Cthulu too ) Cheers Deon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Gentlemen I too fell into the trap of thinking that this GB finished on the 3rd. This leaves me in the, for me, extraordinary position of being able to put forward another entry for your delectation. It struck me that the aerial navies of the world have been rather over-represented in this GB and what we needed was an example of a sea-going craft. I therefore announce here my intention to model His Imperial Majesty's Winans Cigar Battleship HMS Duke of York. Your servant Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
