Early Walker

I made this a couple, more like ten years ago, and thought I would post it here since AAI recently gave it a new base when the old one broke, these two washers are a bit small but should work.  I have yet to come up with a scenario to use it, maybe vicscifi.  Underneath is a gun turret sporting a gatling gun and a US Naval fig from the 1860s.  This was made from a plastic engine that I shortened. The only thing I should finish is the interior of the drivers comparment, and maybe the coal bin.

Destroyermen series

I just finished book five of the Destroyermen series "Rising Tides" by Taylor Anderson.  This alternate history series removes two old WWII destroyers and a Japanese Cruiser to another world, very similar to Earth except that feathered dinos and large Lemurs are the inhabitants, as well as a few other lost souls from previous transports.  The Dinos are the obvious enemy, helped by the Japanese, to conquer the world eating the enemy.  The Destroyemen and Lemurs  form an alliance against the Dinos.  Pretty great read as have been the previous four. Can't hardly wait until Oct. 4th for the next book.  This series ranks among the best I have reead, right up there with SM Sterling and Eric Flint.  Highly recommended.
