OK, the late running departure for steampunk station is off...
Basically, lots of parts slowly being painted with every possible metallised colour!
You get the idea, though...

Oh, good, I have been waiting for this ... love the idea, I just don't have the creativity ....

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Re: Matt B's chuffing cheerful Museum Piece
Thanks, John... making progress now:
The wheels are just test fitted here, for effect. But you can see where it's going. The tricky thing with this build is that basically you're making a set of "metal" parts, and then fitting them together, so there' not much to show until it all starts to come together finally. It's not that far away, honest...

I feel that you could make a clock out of all those bit's with a set of alternative instructions.

Re: Matt B's chuffing cheerful Museum Piece
Tick-tock...
Apologies for the flood of photos after the famine, but as I said, there's really a lot of un-photogenic painting of bits, and then you put it all together quite quickly...
I'll take some proper pictures when the weather lets me step outside for a few minutes in daylight...
So, the big question... should I apply some gentle weathering, as if it was a functional scale model machine that runs, or leave it pristine? Votes?

Looks so neat, I'd be (slightly) inclined to leave it pristine ....

A little light weathering never hurt.
