The Story of The Time Traveller Volume 1
The traveller begins! The Time Traveller Volume 1 is the first century of time travel - beginning in 1888 and ending in 1889, and includes matched versions of the Time Traveller's Laboratory and a time machine for each era in the century (four pairings in total). Each one builds upon the last. So also begins the Schism of 1888, wherein two who would later become allied hidden masters - H G Wells and Jules Verne - battle for ideological supremacy and the new world of science.

The Models
The series includes the following models. Pre-order and get each new vehicle as they are released.

• Time Traveller Great Laboratory 1888. The time traveller purchased an abandoned factory (brought low by economics of the times) which he in converted into his sanctuary - a private laboratory where he perfected his first theories and first expressions of time travel - in 1888! This building has a stone outer wall and gate, and within a red brick factory building that is historically accurate - before the time traveller reinforced it with radiation plating! Inside, there is a scaffolding, chalkboards for working on theories, some tables and desks, and his library of scientific tomes. Up the scaffolding one can reach the roof where a glass dome gives view of the city. PROPS: chair 1, chair 2, stairs, arcane chalk holder, blackboard, blackboard frame, bookshelf, gates, the great lab 1888, great lab 1888 demo, great lab 1888 demo no walls, great lab 1888 no walls, handrail, ladder, outerwalls, scaffolding, scaffolding demo, table, victorian desk
• The Time Machine 1888. The time traveller's first working travel device - in 1888! After the discovery of a mysterious dark purple crystal material found inside of an ancient and long buried meteor, the time traveller set about using its extra-dimensional capabilities - combined with Victorian era, steampunk style engineering and loads of faith in queen, country and the King James Bible. The first machine is fragile, yet combining some startling features, including a spider like suspension (made with early springs and wood!), a comfortable chair, brass fitted control panel, three four handed clocks, jeweled controls and more. This model also includes deconstructed parts so you can decorate or crash it as needed. Props: stand, inner mechanism, astrolabe, bible, clock, compass, control board demo, dimensional clock, engine box, enginebox demo, main jewel, notebook, time machine, time machine chair, time machine base, time machine 1888 demo
• Time Traveller Great Laboratory 1926. But much has changed since the time traveller purchased the abandoned factory in 1888 - 38 years have passed and he hasn't been idle. The year is 1926. The old factory is showing age, with unevenly faded "used brick", and victorian wall guards are replaced by heavy steel plating. The outerwall gate has been replaced by a lockable, wooden and steel gate. A new set of gear boxes help to open the roof top windows. But with the building itself - more. The time traveller has picked up a gramaphone, telegraph, gem polisher and a machine tool table - even an early, but powerful microscope! To one side, a heavily damaged and partially disassembled version of the 1888 time machine sits. These tools and the removed parts from the old time machine will help in building a new time machine.Props: chair 1, arcane chalk holder, scaffolding, table, victorian desk, bookshelf, chalkboard 1 (blank), chalkboard 2 (scientific writing), gate, gramophone, gear (for roof), great lab 1926 (unfurnished), great lab 1926 demo (furnished), great lab 1926 no wall (no outer walls), great lab 1926 demo (furnished) no wall, metal table, gem polisher/grinder, metal work machine, roof, telegraph.
• The Time Machine 1926. After the discovery of a mysterious dark purple crystal material found inside of an ancient and long buried meteor in 1876, the time traveller set about using its extra-dimensional capabilities to build a time machine. After learning how fragile his first creation was, the time traveler went back to the drawing board and applied practical principles - build it into what you already know! The time traveler reconfigured and redefined his invention, and pieced it together with his own variation on the modern automobile. He removed the back seat, and placed there the new time mechanism, with a control panel set into the dashboard and additional pedals available to help control the travel rate. This car is an amalgam of several vehicles, and carried him on several trips - until one trim to the future, he saw something that made him want to dismantle it and try again! Props: stand, inner mechanism, astrolabe, axle assembly, chair, containment box, two versions of the control board, the "energy saver", car grill, headlights assembly, stand, tank, large jewel, speedometer, time machine 1926 (car), time machine demo (complete vehicle), time machine mechanism, wheel assembly.
• Time Traveller Great Laboratory 1945. The time traveller's lab - militarized! In order to help Mother England and the west against the encroachment of Nazi scientists into the Time Stream, the Time Traveller works closely with a secret group of Ally scientists to monitor the Time Stream and thwart its domination. Here was born a British Enigma Machine and an early computational device (perhaps with future tech?). New devices, including a telephone, soldering iron equipment and the remnants of the 1888 and 1926 time machines occupy the building. Props: Great Lab Demo, Great Lab, Great Lab Demo No Walls, Great Lab No Walls, chair, bookshelf, temporal computer, enigma machine, grinder, lamps, metal vice, metal table, microscope, outer wall, radio, scaffolding, soldering iron, support, table, telegraph, telephone, time machine part 1888, time machine part 1926, victorian desk, welding tool.
• The Time Machine 1945. After the discovery of a mysterious dark purple crystal material found inside of an ancient and long buried meteor in 1876, the time traveller set about using its extra-dimensional capabilities to build a time machine. The year is 1945 - and the traveller works with a group of Allied scientists to thwart the penetration of the Time Stream by the Axis Powers - thus was born the heavily armored, two floored Time Machine of 1945! This model uses 'virtual' maps to allow you to apply native shaders to many individual sub-objects. You get both an empty version of the time machine, plus a completely equipt one - featuring two floors, multiple time engines and advanced displays - including a nixie tube style display.Props: astrolabe, chair (new!), clock1, clock2, clock3, compass, engine, engine clock, engine part 1, engine part 2, jewel container, joystick, mainjewel, nixie tubes, nobbed desk panel, outer stairs, time machine 1945, time machine 1945 demo.
• Time Traveller Great Laboratory 1989. The year is 1989, and a hundred years has been visited in the Time Traveller's Great Laboratory - and how times have changed! The outside is missing the military additions, and now heavily marked with grafitti. The rooftop now has a helipad and a fully electronic roof door - control panels control everything. Inside, two mainframes, a security station and early workstations power the Temporal Pad, a ring of smaller, one way time gateways. New gadgets abound, including updated telephones. Props: Great Lab Demo, Great Lab, Great Lab Demo No Walls, Great Lab No Walls, chair, bookshelf, , telephone, time machine part 1888, time machine part 1926, victorian desk, welding tool, computer lab, 1989 PC, 1989 computer monitor, computer keyboard, helipad, lamps, metal handrail, metal working tool, 1888 microscope, outer wall, security station, security station demo, security station desk, soldering iron, telephone, temporal center demo, welding station, whiteboard, diagnostic time machine, diagnostic time machine demo, security camera.
• The Time Machine 1989. The year is 1989 - and the time machine, after decades of refinement, is now computer controlled and built with additional robotic and security systems for lateral time travel. This version is slightly smaller than the World War II era machine, with a single main chamber and three robotic arms.This model uses 'virtual' maps to allow you to apply native shaders to many individual sub-objects. You get both an empty version of the time machine, plus a completely equipt one - and all the props that make it up. Props: astrolabe,body clock, camea, modern chair, command console demo, compartment, container, glass container, joystick, keyboard, leg, main jewel, main jewel container, main robot hand, monitor, outer stair, robot hand, table, tanks , time machine 1989, time machine 1989 demo
