Many thanks for all the kind words, gentlemen.

Nice brushwork. I'm into the steam powered bicycle gatling, but I'm impressed with your handling of yellow. Difficult colour yellow. Do you undercoat in brown?

A bit of a cheat actually, because I've never had any good results with yellow in the past. This was a light brown/beige undercoat and Iyanden Yellow contrast paint from the Evil Empire (TM).

Love the steam carriage! Though I did think initially that the lampost was attached to the front wheel as a bizarre sort of headlight.

Not through the side door.

'Round the back.......Could be a door we can't see ?

Ignore me, as usual.

Indeed not, Techno II.

I worry that the young lady would not be able to open the side door because of the wheel, and whilst she was tugging at the knob, she would be in danger of having her skirt caught in those rather nasty looking gear wheels ... which would probably end up in something akin to a Victorian Benny Hill sketch.


Or a horrible maiming.

I think you are over thinking this Nobby.  She gets in from the other side. The door this side is for servicing the gear wheels.

Overthinking? Me? Impossible!

When have I ever taken a perfectly reasonable proposition and driven it to the point of absurdity?    O:-)

Clearly, just out of shot, there is a wheeled stairway, similar to those used to access aircraft. Doubtless being wheeled into position by the Steamcoach-man, stoker and postillion. :)

Thank you gents.

Concerning Sir Henry's steam carriage, obviously the passenger compartment slides forward and a set of extending steps, stored beneath the door, permit the passengers access.

fsn

Obviously.  :-\

It's a lovely piece of work.
