A while ago I posted pictures of a steampunk Mechanical Mole modelI had completed, and mentioned the Steampunk Tile Project, a group build in which nine modelers were each given a crudely landscaped tile and some guidelines, and told to create a steampunk war machine. Some of you asked that I post pics of the whole shebang when it was finished, and so here we go!
This afternoon the Project finally came together! Nine modelers brought their tiles to Galaxy Hobby’s Sci-Fan model contest, we set them in place on the contest table, and awesomeness was created
Tile #1 SteveGee’s land cruiser Provence. All scratchbuilt; biggest gun on the map!
Tile #2 Scrutus’ Le Colosse and* Le Petite Toot-toot* move to the attack. * Colosse* has had a bit of trouble with a barbed-wire fence!
Tile #3** Rocketeer**'s Mechanical Mole disgorges troops, filled with elan and thirsting to drive the Prussian back to hell! It’s also taking a shot at the dirigible on tile #8.
Tile #4 Morgan Le Fey’s tile shows an artillery duel between two Prussian rocket-firing tractors and a French 75 pulled by a steam monotrack!
Tile #5 Mike the Great’s giant robot is being lifted into position by two mini-dirigibles; things look bad for the French!
Tile #6 And braincells37’s French Chenille Maginot’s crew are taking a wine break!
Tile #7 Mad Paul’s railgun is aiming clear across the map at the Mole. Some nearby cows are unconcerned. :dubious:
Tile #8 Qtan’s magnificent dirigible dominates the battlefield now, but doubtless the Mole’s gun will bring it crashing to the earth in flames soon; hopefully before the dirigible’s Gatlings destroy the Chenille Maginot.
Tile #9 …and Bob2-D2’s submarine sits placidly at its wharf. Awaken, sons of Prussia! Destroy the effete French poltroons! :rolleyes:
