Good news:
The figure arrived! And ist high Quality [thats the laeast Thing I expected for THAT price > 50€!]. Plus I got a Zeppeline for free from a friend of mine, a perfect base for - maybe another? - steampunk Project.
Bad news:
The figure is way too big to use it here. So Ms. Amelia Steam wont make it on the dio. *sigh* The icicles bent far more than I expected it. And... the White glue turned out pinkish.
YARGH!!!! Have to re-plan some things here...

All fixed! Icicles look better now, and the river was coated with Vallejo Crackle Medium for ice effects - works perfect! Additionally the flag was painted in several gren Colors and a check board pattern. An old PlusModel Radio [Art.No. 226] plus a guitar string underline the steampunk character.

YARGH!!!! Have to re-plan some things here... Never a dull moment in our lives of modeling!!! You are way too fast... if you don't know me I am one of slowest builders here. Great work on the base and figure replacement!

Every modeler has his/her own speed. As long as the quality is right, its all fine. Dont have time to model over the week, so Ill take some time at the weekends, if possible. But if it comes to that, then I try to be as creative as possible

Pretty neat Lucas, nice combination between the base, figure, and tank.

Woo, very nice progress on the ice effects!Gonna try this method ones myself, very convincing. Those WWI pilot figures are gorgeous and suit perfect with steampunk related stuff. Great build so far! Marcel.

So here it is... My favourite shop had some Friul tracks - probably the best thing that can happen to a modeled tank The Maultier tracks are really expensive, but every piece is worth ist money for sure [paid 28€]. Of course every single track has to be checked, fitted if neccesary etc. The Maultier needs 230 pc, lets see if they are enough. If NOT, plan B is to show the tank with damaged tracks. Lets see...

I had totally missed this one, Lucas. Each day I'm finding a couple of nice thread I'd missed. Very nice idea and build

Youre welcome Yeah that Scifi/Fantasy and especially Steampunk/Dieselpunk stuff is my favourite special interest for some years now. There sooooo much possibilities to play with. And almost no limits. Thanks for the kind words Edi.
