Also, where did you aquire a rifle stock? It does not seem like an item one would find in the Ether Bay...More complete items is what I mostly see there  It seems I was very lucky indeed- mine was the only bid... Good Gods, man...That is unearthly |

For the glory of steampunk, you MUST take a picture of youurself posing with the thunderbuss while wearing your space helmet  I hereby second this motion, with the coda that the good Herr Doktor must also be wearing his pith helmet, and if possible, suitable "on safari" style clothes. Thirded, motion passed. |

Well, that's that then, when it's done, I'll be seen scouting for Martian Mammoth armed and suited for hard vacuum! Incidentally, I had a dig for information about Blunderbusses, and this is one of the gems I found: The term blunderbuss is of Dutch origin. It derives from the Dutch word donderbus, which is a combination of donder (Middle Dutch doner, thunder), meaning "thunder", and bus, meaning "gun"
Funny old world, isn't it? |

As expected - most excellent detailed work - the gun looks well 'balanced' and useable.
Looking forward to your usual high standard of paint finish.

Just wait until you see the additional item on the Thunderbuss that I happen to know is coming (I have seen the sketches, photos of progress so far etc)...
... but I am sworn to secrecy!

Doing it as a creative outlet is already immensly satisfying - I fear turning it into a career might spoil it.
How do you cope Herr Doktor?
