Heh, nice. Thanks. You're the third person that's said that.

I think you shouldn't do just vehicles. Make weapons! I made a huge taser that is minifig scale and it looked cool.

You have talent, use it well.

I'll see what I can do. I have several custom weapons, which I may or may be about to unveil in a forum battle. It'll have to wait until I have better access to a camera.

The design is good, however it would look more steampunkish if you made it more brown. As a rule of thumb the future is gray the past is brown.

And with your other thumb rip it off for not being shoved down your throat.

Steel, is futurish.
Dark gray is wrought iron and steam punk friendly.

He has a plenty healthy dose of dark grey and brown, so color wise it looks plenty steam punk.

Serious, rip your thumb..clean off.

And random dark red vents. I'm not sure why I did that, but there it is.

Also, going along with the Steampunk BrikSpace fleet somebody mentioned, I've begun work on some Steampunk Frigates. I need more bits, so they won't be done for a while, but just as a heads up; they're coming.

Nobody minds gold, do they? I figure if these are steampunk spaceships, they'd have to be extravagant, very Neo-Victorian royalty ships. So, they've got this big golden front, with giant steampunk-y gears and clockworks coming out the back and forming the remainder of the ship.

Or at least... that's the effect I'm going to go for.

The dark red vents are there because some stupid enemy minifig got sucked up the intakes....or whatever wicked-awesome steampunk stuff like that has.

Intake valves would make sense, to try and cool off the mechanism and prevent overheating while flying long distance.

Claimed by Massam. He posted for it first, technically, although how he guessed what it was I have no clue
