Now I have my worktable clear for the first time in months, I rather fancy the idea of a Darkest Africa game. Perhaps it'll be a strike against the Barsetshire way-station on Tylers Knoll, an attack on a slaver encampment, or even the progress of the Barsetshires to the great lake, said to be somewhere to the north. Decisions, decisions...
That is an extraordinary piece of scratch building, it has been great to see it develop into the finished article.
ReplyDeleteTerrific piece of work well done! I look forward to seeing it in action.

Thanks, gentlemen! It only took four and a half years from inception to finish, but at least it's done. =)
ReplyDeleteLovely work there AJ!
ReplyDeleteTis done indeed Sir and what a truly magnificent marvel of Victorian ingenuity and engineering it is by jove. I shall delight in reading of its exploits in the field.
ReplyDeleteIndebted to you for giving us a detailed account of its construction.
Thanks indeed! I'm getting the itch to make another one, perhaps in copper and black livery. Hmm...
