Steampunk Mounted Photographer

Buzzbomb:
Steampunk bends the rules right  ;)
So how about those clever Steamypunky Victorians sorted out a few things around Camera's allowing the Camera to be used for Mounted Recce ?
This model is part of a GB over on WIM, might be worth adding over here as well
So I have a box of old Airfix Historical Series Figures from about 2 lifetimes ago


Plucked out the Lancer as probably the best basis for a uniform, plus appropriate stationary horse.. maybe they have not quite got the full stabilised mount worked out just yet.
Bit of tinkerage with some layout and create a camera.

Nup, had to redo the camera mount, can be stowed for travel. Plus horse furniture and kit


On a roll, because it is fun. New Helmet, re-animate the arms and add a cape thing that can be used as a camera blackout cover if needed for certain conditions


if had had some gears of the correct size, I could simply glue it on and call it steampunk ;)

Old Wombat:
You know the song Jon referenced was a protest against retailers who did just that, right? ??? ;)

ChernayaAkula:
Totally bonkers.



I love it!  :-*

You should do it. It's the trendy fashion nowadays!  ;)

apophenia:
Me too! I not sure about adding gears - this is already looking totally Victorian-Punk  :smiley: :smiley:

Buzzbomb:
Calling this done. Nice session in the paintshop on a day I should have been anywhere but in lockdown  >:D
