The Chumdinger - Paddle Steamer Tugboat
Captain Reg Badgley, known for his peculiar demeanor and characteristic hat, commands his own river tugboat up and down the Thames.
--------
This build has been nearly complete for over a year, but other priorities meant that it didn't get finished until now. And yes, I know it's a little dusty, it's been on a shelf for months =P. This continues my series of 'realistic steampunk' that I started with the Wasteland Monocycle and hope to add a flying vehicle next.
You can see in the first comment below that the paddlewheel spins and the pistons either side of the boiler 'drive' the chain.
You can see some WIP photos and more detail shots in the Imgur Album
A massive thank you to Nick Brick for the fantastic photo edit. I am lucky to have such skilled friends who offer their time to help a brother out.
Soundtrack of the build - River Driver by Great Big Sea
