 | | 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)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks! That was one of the aspects that I enjoyed the most - trying to rationalize "how it worked" as it was being built. (...) The trick is not to crew your Dragonfly-class Torpedo Gunboats with women wearing Victorian hoop skirts. (...) (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)

| | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | 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)

| | | | | | 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)

| | | | | 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)
