Guild of Harmony Gives you a Steampunk Spoonful of Sugar
June 27, 2012 by brennon
If you love Steampunk models then Guild of Harmony have quite a few on offer. They have previously done Tinker Belle and Dorothy in Victorian Steam-style as well as a plethora of other fantasy miniatures but here is Maria Poppets & Albert...
A nice twist on the story of Mary Poppins. Liking the technology going into that floating umbrella and of course the chimney cleaning device that Albert is using that could so easily be changed into some kind of weapon. I suppose really though this miniature has a lot more of a casual and relaxed feeling too it, making it a great display product after a good paint job.
Will you take your spoonful of sugar from Guild of Harmony?
That is fantastic!
Now THIS is how to do parkour! lol

I thought same thing when I saw that. Defenetly Mary Poppins inspired model.
Clearly this is sculpted ‘in the most delightful way’ 😉 – brilliantly detailed and very animated – but the joins will be quite delicate and there’ll clearly be balance issues, so this is for display only I think.
Interestingly the techified brolly not-Poppins is carrying is based on a real Da Vinci design for a helicopter, an aerial screw:

Love that bit of ‘realism’ in the model.
An aerial screw?
I thought Mary and Albert were just good friends, but regardless surely Mary would be more discrete?
I’m always floored by what comes out of the Guild of Harmony. They know models it the best form you can think of. I wish I could say more but I can’t take my eyes off this to type.
I’d heard rumours the “Autumn of flyers” and a “summer of flyers” I feel foolish now I know what it is all about
