discussion Le Vagabond Runner.

[Guest]

This is a new attempt to build a Steampunk vehicle.
My first thought was start the project from zero, but after see this lovely kit alone on a toy shop....I decided it was perfect to use as a base.

I built a similar kit time ago (smaller), and I must say those kits are simples , fits perfectly and the design is really cool. There isn’t any scale marked on the instructions, but the model looks enough bigger to add a 1/20 figure as a reference.

I currently finishing my small diorama, so I need new and different projects to ilusion me... this one looks perfect for that!

Hi Polux
Now that looks fun. Are you building it to actually go with the salt water cell?

You just KNEW that box of watch and clock parts you bought some time ago would be useful didn't you! You will have to change the numbers on the watch faces though. I bet even a steam punk motorbike can go faster than 12 miles an hour!:smiling5:

PS I just realised it might be doing 24 miles an hour at night!

Hi like this a lot, will follow along if you don't mind, might have to look around for one of these :thinking:, good luck with the rest of the build.

Hey! The Vagabond has an ultimate technology on steam engines. “She” is more faster than any snail :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:
