OK, well lets get some inspiration...

<Thinks hard and ears bleed...>

*Passes R@nSiD some cotton swabs and some good ideas*

OK.

Google wins out again...

Here is my Steam Driven ATV (Not my design :( )

Wow...the things you can do with cotton swabs...:D :p

I've been searching on google to between steampunk, steam punk, and steam engines, to get ideas of what exactly steampunk looks like, and to try and figure out exactly how a steam engine works and where everything is.
I came across this one and it looks like it'll be a good one, good luck :beer:

First Update. I need a Ready Reckoner and a Slide Rule :p

wow thats looking very nice

good start

Stage 1 of one side done...

Looking sweet R@nsid! Keep the progress coming m8.

Another Update

very nice indeed.

any plans on changing anything from the ref ????

Planning to add a seating area, or a booth like an old steam train

Sweet!

Looking good. Are you going to change the design up to be something of your own?

Yes m8.

This is a s far as I am taking the original drawing, time to make it up as I go along :blush: . I mean take insperation form the steam era ;)

OK not been doing anything for a couple of days. Added detail to the tender for the door to the coal slot.

Another One...

I`m liking the little details like the door handle man. keep it up

I'm so out of my league.

thanks all for the gr8 comments, I am really enjoying this challenge. Not really been on SM much as I hav just gone through a TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment)) process in my job and now work for a different company, and my son has ben ill. Glay he is better now and here is the work in my project so far...

Another Udate.

...

Really just detailing now... Here is another little update. Where I here you cry (God, its like a spot the ball competition :p)

cool contraption but I can't figure out for the life of me what it does ..lol

Its a steam powered All-Terrrain Vehicle, isn't it obvious ;)

looks good to me! I'd love to see it move. :)

silly me I should have realized:)

I bet that is a mean ride on snow ;)

great modelling job though as always.

Thx again all for the comments

Now theres an anmation challenge, time to break out the engineering books and study. LOL. OK maybe not, but I would need lots of SDK's

nice piece of work ransid, it could easily fit into the movie 'steamboy' that I watched at the weekend :)

Si

Cheers Tick :)

This will be the last WIP render. Crits Please. First the AMB_OCC render...

The Wire

haha that models awsome man kinda like what my idea was...

i was going to make a honda civic with spider legs like the trains legs:p

good job:beer:

Another Render...

good job R@nSiD - this is looking sweet! I really like the little insignia thing at the front and the chimney.

will this thing actually work - are you planning on animating it?

Ta Arran, the insignia is my new logo. I am planning to put it somewhere on everything I create from now on.

Mike Suggested the same thing and its certainly an idea to do in the future once this challenge is over and I have got rid of a few smaller personal projects. Firstly I would like to texture it :)

A really great job on the final ..a very nice model goodluck .

I second that! Also, do you plan to aimate it? It would be very intresting to see it work.

Mike asked the same questionand its something I will do on the back burner. I have a new personal project I have to do first.

Oh and thx to you for the gr8 comments.
