Brooklin Studebaker Master Mod

Probably my favourite job from my days as a commercial model maker/sculpter. I'd done a fair amount of very satisfying prototype work for the likes of Corgi, Matchbox etc. but was especially delighted to be offered the job of making this Studebaker master model for Brooklin Models. I'd always particularly admired Brooklin as a company and as this was my first master it was and still is a bit special to me.

The story so far...

Tue Mar 31, 2009, 7:48 AM
Well, the Bentley Bimotor's now complete and the 'air'ship (a Bountyesque ex-square rigger with a couple of additional accomodation decks) is in sectional drawing stage...it's now the land-bound Combustable H.Q. placed over an old Cornish mine shaft which leads to the Captain's mine workshops. Combustable has a group of new assistants in the form of StenGunJen, SilverFox and the yet to be designed mechanoidal sidekick, 'Sprocketeer'. Air transports are now likely to be a flight of (heavily modified) DeHavillands...a pair of Comet Racers and a Rapide. There's a tandem Brough Superior (the 'Double-Brough' ) on the horizon too. The whole project appears to be gravitating more towards the 30s/40s which I'm finding more comfortable than the original turn of the century idea.

Most concepts/gadgets will be presented in cutaway form with a view to exploring all those tantalising levery type bits. Basically, a 30sFest of engines, oil and the hunting down of errant ne'erdowellery set to a sonic backdrop of low-revving, multi-cylinder, oily metal bits.

...thinks...the Mauser pistol shown under the Cpt's seat in the Bimotor will probably be replaced with a Webley 'Magnuson' high power revolver. As everything else seems to be English it seems a shame to include one item which isn't.
