Goblin War Maschine

Another addition to Orctober 26.  Made using coffee stirrers, toothpicks, card and wood glue. The Studs/Bolts are pin heads.  

The Fighting deck is removable to show the drive system. It´s propelled along by 12 Human Pushers, a 12HP drive system. The HP´s come from a wide range of sets..Strelets, Pegasus, Italeri and Caeser. The Goblins from Dark Alliance. 
Previous "worn out parts" adorn the front of the machine.

A "Spare part".
A rare Dog faced Goblin keeping the 12 HP´s motivated.
Was fun and turned out better than I thought. I might build another...but with a different and more reliable drive system.

    Superb! What a great scratchbuild, the characters look as if they were designed to be there. Great job Paul.

    Very nice! It is like a mix of a Hussite war wagon with a siege tower and a vinea/ram! Obviously goblins would come up with such a cruel design!

    You let your wicked imagination go wild with these and produced a ripper. Those figs from the Strelets/Linear-b ancients sets are so useful and versatile.
    Best wishes, James

    That Goblin War Maschine is a wonderful bit of scratchbuilding, especially the way coffee stirrers, toothpicks, and card turn into something that looks properly menacing. I love the idea of a removable fighting deck that reveals the drive system underneath, since it shows off the engineering as much as the finished model. The 12 Human Pushers concept is brilliant, and the dog-faced goblin keeping them motivated is exactly the kind of characterful detail that makes a piece memorable. Between hobby sessions I have been unwinding with https://kickthebuddyapk.app/ as a quick, light diversion from the workbench. The worn-out parts on the front and the spare part idea really sell the ramshackle goblin engineering, and I hope you do build another one with a different drive system.
