Is that Nick Nolte in the middle?
As a matter of fact - it is ... That specific ad is presented as a specimen from his 1970s-era modeling work at:Is that Nick Nolte in the middle?
The passenger sets are the best of a poor attempt to cash in.Agreed! Although I do like the standing passengers sets.
Never thought about modding into steampunk. Where's my milliput?
The larger figure. The painted model isn't the same as the unpainted one. Has it been altered?
No, it's Lord Lucan.Is that Nick Nolte in the middle?
No, it's Lord Lucan.
That's actually quite (unintentionally) amusing.World's worst attempt to cash in on a fashion which is already past its peak (though long may genuine Steam Punks continue):

" Late Victorian" cities with underground areas and large iron industrial machinery.
Armoured airgunships bristling with cannonsand airships. There MUST be airships!

I actually like the blue coat but yes, those shirts with flounces on the front should be burned!!I don't think I can ever remember anybody wearing the 'shirt suit' back in 1972.
Perhaps people who frequented certain 'establishments' may have done, but only at night. Perhaps with an armed escort.
Detachable?!I was "there" (the Seventies) and frequented night spots of the era (as a musician). I don't recall many folks wearing such radically pimped-out garb, though I recall the catalogs that were chock full of such stuff.
Then again, I suppose folks who wore such things were more likely to be found in the entirely separate disco scene. There wasn't a lot of crossover or intersection between the disco scene and the rock scene.
The one thing that's new to me in the most recently posted catalog pages above is the fact the shirt suit ruffles were detachable on both the shirt and the pants legs. I don't recall seeing or hearing of such clothing that included any such removable frills.

Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Shirt suit or pimp suit?
I don't know, add a Cordoba hat to that ensemble and you're in overly flamboyant Flamenco dancer territory...Those ruffles appear somewhat female to me . . .
It'd attract the interest of the police, certainly.I'm thinking the shirt suit with a pimp overcoat might be the way to go.
