Colony 87 – Sketchbook Oct2022 Colony 87 Anti-grav rickshaw ideas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Happy New Year everyone who looks at my art and this blog! Here’s a miniature that has taken ages to get a sculpt, it’s based on various sketches of mine that go back a few years. I think it was Jon, the originator of the Colony 87 range of miniatures, who wanted an anti-gravity rickshaw, with the weight of the miniature on the beast. Above sketches are me working out how to achieve this with options for various drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sketchbook Oct2022 – Colony 87 Outland Farmers ideas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here I’m refining the design, with a mini-fusion generator on the back fuelled by hydrogen-bricks powering the anti-grav generator on the underside of the cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can purchase one or just admire the sculpting and painting here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
