And now for something completely different….1:48
No teddy bears were harmed in the making of the steam (sorry, that's a lie).
Projet: Robey Road Steamer 1870

Wow! The modeler cum philosopher strikes again. Very imaginative, original, and expertly done. Super 👍

I love everything about this, the rivets, the steam, the green, the brass, the curly mustache, and the hat. What a great subject!

That's the first time (and almost certainly the last) I've been called a philosopher! I should imagine that Nietzsche may have one or two objections. 😄
Thanks very much Alec and Ben. 👍

Nietzsche would shurely not have objected, but his widow Elisabeth certainly!

Tom ...
Most excellent! Really brings the past alive! Ironically it's a scratch build of a "scratch-build"

"I'm pleased you like my little oddity"
Actually, we try not to draw attention to it! 😄
The model, on the hand, is splendid 👍

That made me laugh Nigel. 😄
Thanks everyone for you nice comments. I'm surprised this has been so popular. 🙂

Great atmospheric steampunky build! I can almost hear it rumbling along.

Thanks very much mates. 🙂
Thomas: It was very refreshing building something different. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what will be my next scratch-build.

Thanks very much Bernhard. 🙂
Alex: I did consider doing the XF-85 Goblin, but I really enjoyed doing the twiddly bits on the steamer. I also quite enjoyed making it up as I went along, rather than building an exact miniature of reality. Which is probably a complete anathema to most of the modellers on ScaleMates.

You should scratch make vehicles from the animated movie, Steamboy... My all time favorite steam era type movie. Even if you don't like animated movies, this one will still suck you in, it's so good 🙂 So many funky vehicles. If you haven't seen it, you might find it online free, but is totally worth the couple dollars from a streaming service. I would love to see you make attempt Ray Steam's Monocycle. Youtube Video

What would be cooler?? Another awesome aircraft (tons of aircraft on scalemates), or an awesome steampunk monowheel that's scratch built?
