Once the model was finished I framed up the best views, one from the front, one from the rear., anf created some concept art for what it would look like out on a foggy night , in the murky waters of the Thames, or heading for the coast among the clouds.

For a laugh I also produced this flyer to promote the MLC at The Great Exhibition in 1851.

I picked that one that I felt would seem most believable and look as if it would have the ability to transform itself into something that could do all of the above and moved into 3D to develop the design.
