My first try at the steampunk genre is the "Mean Tine". The Mean Tine is a small attack airship suitable for short-range defense, couriers, and privateering: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4790 She is powered by a medium steam boiler to generate electricity for the two main propellers that give the ship lift. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=47745 Twin airscrews in the rear propel the Mean Tine across the skies to intercept attacking troops, ships or for quick strikes against targets of opportunity. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=47752 While, the mainstay of vessels this size is a forward-firing cannon, the Mean Tine is equipped with an experimental "Lightning Gun" that's yet to be fully tested: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=47749 Lightly armored, the Mean Tine is still susceptible to high velocity gravity impacts: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=47760 Also The boys at Kennington Boilers are always working on new and better ways to generate power. Here's a glimpse at a new boiler in the works: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4791 I know it's all sort of clumsy, but I'm trying for a Victorian Era feel. I'm also not really sure what newsgroup this would belong in, but it's sort of science fiction-fantasy... Critique Away.

Nice Job Evil Wayne! As a fellow fan of all things Steampunkish, I appreciate the look captured by Mean Time. I especially like the look of the boiler. I've allways planned on posting Steampunk/Gaslight Fantasy items over in Adventurers. No one (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

		Re: Steampunk: The Mean Tine
High velocity gravity! Hah! That's a nifty little model. Steampunk is definitely an underdeveloped theme. I'd love to see someone tackle a technic version of the spider-mech from Wild Wild West.

		Re: Steampunk: The Mean Tine
hey, nice lil MOC. I also love the steampunk genre, and have been planning an airship MOC of my own, a little more along the lines of the final fantasy airships or even the weatherlight from magic the gathering. it might be a while, considering i (...)
