Jen at Epbot has a fantastic post which walks her audience through a project that started in May. It begins as a $30 Vader helmet & mask combo by Rubies and then the saw comes out as we’re just working on the bottom half. Jen describes the cutting experience as “terrifying” due to hot and […]
Steampunk NERF gun
Take a NERF N-Strike Barricade RV-10 and then re-work it completely. Etsy shop operator Faustus70 stepped up to the challenge, adding cut planks of wood from an old chair, a scope, access pannels so you can get to any jams and building, in their words, a big daddy of a steampunk NERF gun. “You won’t […]
Steampunk Iron Man meets Sherlock Holmes
Robert Downey Jr is both Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man. Over on Deviant Art, Daaakota succumbed to the urge to draw Sherlock Holmes meeting Iron Man, and I’m glad. With two characters from different times it was also the ideal chance to consider what a steampunk Iron Man might be like too.
Real life elephant wooden steampunk elephant mecha!
The title of this post is “Real life elephant wooden steampunk elephant mecha” to which my only comment can be; “No! Really!” French artists François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice have built, from wood and metal, a working, elephant shaped mecha that snorts steam. It’s the most surreal and the most artistic mecha you’re likely to […]

Steampunk Iron Man glove
Deviant artist Ian Finch-Field is a man with talent. The Canadian works incredibly well with wood, brass and leather. Influenced by comic books, Ian often makes fantastic pieces that appeal to art lovers and geeks alike. This example is of a handmade leather and brass steampunk gauntlet. I get Ironman vibes from it.
Steampunk as Dr Grordbort presents the Deadliest Game
Follow the action as Lord Broadforce (played by Geoff Houtman) takes Millicent Middlesworth (Morgana O’Reilly) on a tour of the local planet. Dangerous stuff – but, thankfully, Boardforce is British. This steampunk short film is based on the world of Dr Grordbort by Greg Boardmore. If you think you might like to see where science […]
Glue some gears on it and call it steampunk
Steampunk is cool. There’s an episode of Castle that’s heavy with Steampunk. Just as we have the rise of the aspirational geek so do we have to cope with aspirational steampunks.
Steampunk Couture: Kato
The increasingly popular Geeks Are Sexy geeky blog found these pictures of the proprietor of the steampunk fashion boutquie Steampunk Couture. This Kato. The pictures come from the store’s Facebook page and I’m sure they’ve been posted because of Kato’s awesome look in the photographs. However, it’s also well worth your while checking out the […]
Steampunk sub-machine gun
Neil Morrison describes this steampunk styled sub-machine gun as “first ever Steampunk build”. He’s happy with it. I don’t blame him! I really hope this is not his last. There’s a commentary on his blog and a host of images on Flickr. They’re both worth the trip over to study in detail. The pictures below […]
