Okay.. the Prototype of the Screaming Bell (Original one) was a scratch build model by Andy Chambers and was shown in and issue of White Dwarf.. I forget which one.. it was a fairly basic but good design. But.. Was there any known images of a Prototype Doomwheel? Like the final Screaming bell, the Doomwheel was sculpted Norman Swales. Apart from some drawings he did with Hinchliffe, I know very little about him and there doesn't seam to be alot as people are more focused on who sculpts the character Minis then machines and terrain.
The reason I'm asking is pretty simple. I got a doomwheel from my youth which was well painted (well, good paint job) by a friend back in my youth as my painting skill weren't great and for something which was kinda pricey, at the time it was better to get someone which more ability to do it ^_^; while I would love to get a second one to paint up I have lost out on getting the odd one and they are pretty pricey at times.. the modern doomwheel.. just looks crap to me.. too much based on modern stylings with the techno skaven.. So I decided I might have a bit of fun kit bashing one. Instead of trying to just copy the original, I was wondering if I could find some early stuff, like a Prototype or early sketch ideas to give some inspiration.. but I'm turning up empty.. alot of that stuff doesn't seam to float around, with the most likely and detailed information on Prototypes again, being the miniatures themselves..
So.. wondering if anyone has any ideas?
