The Girl on Fire!


You have already seen the Willa Shaw on foot, but now we have an even deadlier version of Willa!


Mounted on her Iron Horse, she is set to wreak all kinds of havoc on the enemies of the Union.


The exhaust was a quandary for the longest time.  I just didn't know what to do with it.  Should it be simply a dust color?


I had red in one of the novels about red smoke from the Iron Horse, which made me think that some glowing smoke could be very fun.  That turned out to be quite true!!!

    Now that is just simply impressive. The smoke looks so lifelike and hot you could actually burn your fingers :-)

    The glowing smoke was the right decision.

      I.m glad you liked that! It seemed such a shame to make it all just different shades of dust :-)

    Absolutely fantastic. A cloud of smoke, which light up the hot gases is simply breathtaking ... Great work as always.
