Emancipator Steam Vehicle

More to come of this alternate history.....


I picked up a damaged Steve Weston model in The Hobby Bunker's "Flea Market" room for 1/3 the price.

It unsnaps easily if you want to paint the model as the Mark IV.

Two spare Armies In Plastic Gatling Guns.

 The idea was to make a Victorian "Steam Tank" with objects I already had in my work shop. It also had to be technology as close to the 1860s as possible.  Unfortunately for me chain tracks were late 1890s and early 1900s. I had to wing it on this feature.

Trial and error happened.

The "Emancipator" is basically a railroad locomotive running backwards. More to come on the features.

Battle of Widder Black's Farm part 1

A fictitious event during John Hunt Morgan's 1863 Raid. (See the film Friendly Persuasion 1956)

Figures are Toy Soldiers of San Diego and the "Widow" is combination of a Steve Weston Mexican, a soccer player's legs, a Marx Mamie Eisenhower's head and two part putty. .

"ESS" words.

I don't hear most of these terms much any more. Some are just obsolete.  Some are now considered offensive for good reasons! (Most figures are MARX repros)

Stay Tuned for the Battle of Widder Black's Farm. The premise will be the John Hunt Morgan raid in 1863.

Preview..Battle of "Widder" Black's farm.

Still haven't got my DELL PC Tower back from STAPLES yet. DELL rep told me there is NO parts shortage.
Limping along w/o a good photo editing program.

Don't mess with the young widow Black. More to come.......
