[IMG]http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.145141721.jpg[/IMG] Ain't she a beauty! Ill post pics when it gets here!
I like steampunk if it's done properly (like your watch there), but no matter what I cringe whenever I read the word because of all the awful "steampunk" shit on instructables.
This site has a lot of victorian style stuff. [url]http://www.gentlemansemporium.com[/url]

Wow, this is weirdly timed. I'm supposed to start playing in a steampunk tabletop RPG this Saturday but I know almost nothing about the genre
[QUOTE=Viper01;22031896]Wow, this is weirdly timed.

I love Steampunk, I would buy a pair of the goggles but then I wouldn't be able to wear my glasses

You know, those flying airships would be most likely impossible. [IMG]http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i155/caveatscoti/Steampunk_destroyer.jpg[/IMG] That's a more realistic one.
I miss Iron Grip, probably the only steampunk game I've seen/played
[QUOTE=Emperorconor;22032167]You know, those flying airships would be most likely impossible. -Pic- That's a more realistic one.[/QUOTE] Well maybe if you beliv- Nah your right, a blimp with pure awesome attached would work better.
I like steampunk artwork but the real life items tend to lack the atmosphere for me
[QUOTE=demisemiquaver;22032319]I like steampunk artwork but the real life items tend to lack the atmosphere for me[/QUOTE] This seems to be the case with me

[QUOTE=Viper01;22032355]This seems to be the case with me[/QUOTE] just wait until you actually get your hands on a piece of that stuff, you'll totally see it in a different way...
Steampunk is awesome. I just went on that site, and made myself a whole outfit that would be kicking rad, but it costs around 700 dollars for trousers, shirt, vest, jacket, shoes, suspenders and a bowler hat. If I had a ridiculous amount of money and I felt like wasting it, I might get it. [QUOTE=Emperorconor;22032167]You know, those flying airships would be most likely impossible. [IMG]http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i155/caveatscoti/Steampunk_destroyer.jpg[/IMG] That's a more realistic one.[/QUOTE] I've always wanted to commandeer my own airship, but I don't understand how airship battles would work... One well placed shot could bring down a whole ship. [editline]05:19PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Viper01;22032201]I miss Iron Grip, probably the only steampunk game I've seen/played[/QUOTE] Download "Guns of Icarus" on Steam. It's got good single-player, but amazing multiplayer. If only one person could actually control the ship, and then we'd have airship fights. They need to update the game and add that.
I recommend that all of you start listening to Abney Park.
[QUOTE=Ivebo;22032961]I recommend that all of you start listening to Abney Park.[/QUOTE] Eh not a big fan. I like steampunk, but their music is pretty awful.
[QUOTE=demisemiquaver;22032319]I like steampunk artwork but the real life items tend to lack the atmosphere for me[/QUOTE] It's probably because no one's going to actually build a steampunk style giant floating airship. The most we have in real life are watches.
I really want a tall white top hat but I just can't find it anywhere.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5CmMZ9pfjQ[/media] I don't really care for steampunk, but this is just to cool. I didn't make it.
Just bought myself this fine watch from Etsy. [img]http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.145305855.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=coco911231;22033096]This tall enough?[/QUOTE] A little too tall I think, the ones here [url]http://www.gentlemansemporium.com[/url] are nice but they don't offer it in white. Also silk hats are super rare for some stupid reason this is ridiculous.
Steampunk stuff has always interested me.
