Hi, All! Gutted some cheap toys today to start constructing steam powered helicopters (Hydrothermicopters)
Lots of scope for cogs, cables and RIVETS! Hahahahaha!

I want a flunk now, dammit! What about a flunk with a hydrothermicopter landing platform on it's back? |
| mattblackgod | 27 Aug 2012 6:58 a.m. PST |
Now thats an idea Norman D Landings! Great stuff, very inspirational. |

Good luck to you sir, I know you'll do a bang up job!! And as the man said, you have me thinking of flunks also! |
| Colonel O Truth | 02 Sep 2012 10:48 p.m. PST |
Thank you gents. Just posted more on the flunks on my blog… link More work on the hydrothermicopters very soon – but probably not a landing pad… |
| rborges | 04 Sep 2012 12:29 p.m. PST |
I really want more of the Helicopters. I can't wait to see what you will do with it. |
| Norman D Landings | 04 Sep 2012 1:54 p.m. PST |
I asked the internet about flunk-mounted hydrothermicopter landing pads, and this is what it said: YouTube link |

Hmmm… Feeling the pressure, guys… OK – hang on in there. They're on their way! |
| Colonel O Truth | 09 Sep 2012 11:54 p.m. PST |
Here you go then… I've done a bit more…

You see what happens when I duck out of an online presence for a few months because some silly college courses have me all tied up? I miss a lot of the Colonel's amazing works. |
| sasoriuk | 06 Feb 2013 7:30 a.m. PST |
Can you tell me what minis you used for the crew of these? |
| Colonel O Truth | 06 Feb 2013 2:25 p.m. PST |
Hi! Yes – the minis are plastic British Line Infantry from Warlord Games, slightly modified. |
| cooey2ph | 07 Feb 2013 3:26 a.m. PST |
Well done! These look very cool. |
| surdu2005 | 07 Feb 2013 3:48 a.m. PST |
Outstanding work! Hopefully they won't fail their Save and crash in their first game as most of my new contraptions tend to do. :) Buck |

At least that's SOME action. We've a fellow that will regularly fail sustains of land ironclads, and the stats are quite generous at that. Natch, his whines are more amusing to us than he. On the other hand, he's a lad that is warned regularly 'don't touch my dice, don't want 'em ruined!' He also had been known to gather up his own dice, walk to the front door of the store, and pitch them into the park across the street. ;->= Colonel, hadn't seen the lads just yet. If that beast DOES fall, I think the pilot has to roll again decapitation… Still say the skids are the most inspiring of all! Doug |

Still have to finish the second Hydrothermicopter – I've been dithering about figuring whether/how to make it different… … and been a tad busy with other projects… Sadly, while GASLIGHT is my preferred system, games seem very few and far between these days. Oh well. At least by the time I get the chance, I'll have an immense array of equipment to choose from. Hmmm… Buck – Should I be rather afraid of the consequences of taking the field with an entire army of new gadgets? |
solve the rotation problem with magnetic flight stands?
