    It looks like there is some kind of handle going across the back of the box so I think you actually steer by turning the whole box. I have no clue what the handle by the seat is as it doesn't look like it's connected to anything but the frame.

    I would say parking break, you don't want your tricycle full of eggs or milk get a life of its own and run down the nearest hill..

    Yeah, looks like a parking brake.

    There's a nice collection of pictures and other info available at: http://www.oldbike.eu/museum/1910-2/1910-alldays-delivery-tricycle-alldays-onions-ltd-birmingham/

    Don't laugh but I remember, back when I was a young girl, we had small ice cream "trucks" like that. At least until they came out with the full-sized motorized versions. I often would see them on the boardwalk near the beach, and they sold ice cream cups, pops and sometimes Italian ices. Real treats during the hot summer months. :coolsmile:

    When I was young an ice cream truck would come by the house a few times a day. Today your lucky to see one. My youngest caught one yesterday and I got some shaved ice. YUM!

    I've never seen one that old. I've seen something similar on the beaches but not around the neighborhood.

    When all the Moonshine's Diner stuff came out, I picked it up with the intention of making this scene.

    For those wondering "why is there a smokey super villain sitting next to that child", Black Adam is a Super Villain in the Shazam/Captain Marvel comics. The hero, Captain Marvel, is a little boy who turns into a superman analogue by saying the word "shazam". The letters stand for the names of different Greek gods who grant him his powers. Marvel's antecedent from ancient Egypt was "Mighty Adam" who said the same magic word, but got his powers from Egyptian deities.

    Mighty Adam is a bit more old school in his style of justice, and in modern times would occasionally tear people in half over embassies and that kind of indelicate thing. Captain Marvel appealed to the Egyptian gods to strip Adam of his powers. They wouldn't. For reasons convenient to the plot, Marvel was able to change the magic word which granted Adam his powers, so he changed it to "Chocolate Egg Cream". Teth Adam then spent a year wandering the globe, working his way through the dictionary, until he stumbled into a diner in Marvel's home town, ordered a milkshake, and Shazam!, was back to his old self again.

    The front brake works on both front wheels and can be locked

    That is a mighty fine render Joequick

    Here is a quikie using one of the characters from my last big image.

    West Park Ward. I adjusted the Bump maps in to Displacement maps.

    This is what happens to us BWC members when we get old/er

    Please do keep showing us more of Pryce Manor. ;-)

    There is not much more to show ;-) The mad professor is now dead and his misinterpreted ancient rituals no longer let the demon Azazel randomly possess people making them do stupid things they later cant remember doing (much like the pub). He was killed by an axe in his back by a former army Captain who served in Africa and was possessed by the spirit of Michael the Archangel in the tomb of Vlad the Impaler (which I showed a painting of here before). But the adventure continues. Btw, the adventure is called Thread carefully in Caerphilly, thanks to Chohole for some great Welsh information and inspiration. If you wanna read it, it available at 4eyes to download ;-)

    AHA! Too bad, I was enjoying the posts with the Professor in them. :coolsmirk:
    I'm working on a new adventure with a new Manor, but no professor this time, just macabre dead people, so I cant post them here, lol.

    Ohhhhh, niiiiiice. I love murder mysteries, Agatha Christie being one of my all time favorite authors. These 2 renders are typical of Agatha Christie murder scenes, though I'm thinking more Miss Marple than Hercule Poirot. :coolsmile:

    You're right!
    The game (for which I'm making the adventures is very much like an Agatha Christie book, trying to solve weird mysteries from small clues, but of course the murders are not very often humans though, or at least normal humans, but the idea is the same. And thank you for liking them ;-)

    As a friend use to say:"It's expensive to be a completist". In his case it's about RPG rule books and supplements though...
