Very nice, plasticard for these new additions? I couldn't think of any metal model to use as a base for it. I already was using war wagons and steam tanks, so I wanted something original. I am using metal wizards and wheels. I finished the celestial hurricanum. All the bits, familiars and wizard are still removable. The luminark has all the rivets put on but I dont have wheels for it yet. The original plan called for using standard chariot wheels but they looked tiny on it when I assembled it. I found some 30mm diameter Napoleonic artillery wheels which resembles the metal steam tank wheels I am using on the hurricanum. So it will have to wait till they arrive to finish it.

very nice clean plasticard work. I was going to tease you for not sticking with metal but, I see somebody else took care of it Will you be able to fit an attendant on there? maybe you could have a sort of driver's seat more or less above the horses? A really cool addition would be if you could pull off making a miniature version of that swirly planetarium that normally towers on the hurricanum. Just big enough to fit on his work bench there. Lastly, PLEASE bent that wizard staff and sword into shape before the next picture, I can see him suffer!

Yes I also noticed the bent Wizard staff!
I think you made the right choice with the wheels.

That's a really cool looking conversion.
Empire love blinging up their vehicles - do you have any sigmarite crosses, or wizardly icons that you could stick to the outside?

How do you do the rivets on this thing? I use a tool called the the chopper, made my northwest short line, nwsl.com/collections/choppers/products/the-chopper-iiDepending on the size of rivet I cut styrene rod to the length that I need. There is an adjustable stop on the tool. All you have to do is set and start chopping. On thicker rods Ill cut part way through, then rotate the rod and cut again. Some times Ill do this 3 or 4 times till the blade is through. If you try and cut all the way through in one go the plastic will fracture and the cut will be crooked. Ill wet the tip of a piece of welding rod and use that to pick up and place the rivet on the model. For reference I was using .060 inch or 1.5 mm rod to make these rivets.

Thanks, Ill have to dig through the bitz box and see what I can dig up. Oh, I went ahead and straightened the sword and staff on the wizard. Im just to last to take a picture to prove it.

Here's a big and small update. I finally figured out what I wanted to make the crew out of for the Tzar Cannon. Also made a base for my hot pot.
