    The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Shaun Sullivan
   Loosely inspired by some gorgeous SW Sail Barge MOCs on Brickshelf, NELUG's latest [1] Brikwars game featured a steampunk skiff battle set above the desolate Kar'Zuba desert. Every skiff represented a Trading Guild, and upon arrival at the outskirts (...)

     (...) --snip-- (...) That's rather incredibly cool. I particularly like how it's quite 'realistic' within its own logic: the grilles over the fans, the cannnon balls, the equipment. Most excellent steampunk. The split hull construction is (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
    
         Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Shaun Sullivan
     (...) Thanks! That was one of the aspects that I enjoyed the most - trying to rationalize "how it worked" as it was being built. (...)

        Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Jonathan Lopes
     (...) Wow! Very inpressive. Excellent details, weaponry and such. This is also a great example in my book of how to use the two different browns together. The two different tones add so much to this. Simply fabulous. Best, Jonathan (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
    
         Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Shaun Sullivan
      (...) I agree. It became apparent very early on that I would send myself to the madhouse if I insisted on using a single color only - and that assumes that I even had the pieces I needed in the right color. When building the deck and hull I instead (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)

        Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Ted Godwin
     That is great. As soon as I saw the pic I thought the bow looked familiar. You have really captured the PT boat look with that bow construction. Some cool details as well such as the Little Armoury (I think) halberds as boarding pikes. I also liked (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
    
         Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Shaun Sullivan
     Thanks for the comments and feedback Ted. (...) I think that's a fair criticism. If I lived in a steampunk economy I'd definitely invest in dials, gauges and levers. Unfortunately I had a tough time figuring out how to cram in more controls (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
   
        Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —George Haberberger
     (...) Shaun, I really like this, you put a lot of detail into making this, and it's very believable in a steampunk sort of way! Thanks, George (17 years ago, 26-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
   
        Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Aaron Amatnieks
     Very nice, I like how the bottom of the hull is not flat, gives is a believable purpose. Very spelljammers feel to it. Now you need a steam punk foating dock to more it to. Aaron (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
   
        Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Nathan Todd
     I really, really like this! It is so complete looking and has a beautiful presence and balance all of its own. Absolutely amazing work! A beautiful MOC! Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Nathan (URL) (17 years ago, 30-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
   
        Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —Don Cox
   (...) Is there a article available describing the battle in detail? I am also interested in this type of gaming, being a fan of Space:1889.

        Re: The steampunk skiff 'Egregious' —John Gladden
     (...) Wow! that's an impressive army. I've never seen so many pith helmets in one place. ...and thanks for bringing Space: 1889 to my attention. I love anything like that - Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Flash Gordon, etc. (17 years ago, 2-Jul-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
