Almost finished with my Holy Knight

Victorian Airship Construction Status

My Victorian ship's construction is underway. Finished the bow and now working on the front viewing deck/ballroom. Finishing up the staircases now.

Colossus of Hattin

The colossus was created in 1187 to battle Richard the Lionheart in the first Crusade. The colossus turned the tide of battle just enough to drive out the invaders.



Here are the glamour pics that are shot of my colossus. He stands 18in tall.

More Photos of Robot

Attached the head and painted the axe.



Here is a detail of the axe....still have some touch up.


and a closer view of the head and protective gorget.

Champion for the Sultan Salah ad-Din

Here are some more pics for my Crusader Robot under Salah ad-Din. Still steampunk-but with an Islamic/Ottoman flair. The helmet was based on the Sultan's Calvary and the armor was based off of the foot soldiers. The ax is more of a Persian design.

Here is the completed body (but unpainted)


...and his Axe.


And a peek of his back side and it's inner workings

Conceptual Robot Heads

Here are some robot heads that I have completed (bodies to come). All Steampunk.





And this one is for an Ottoman or Crusader robot that is in the works

Victorian Steampunk Iron Horse

Here is the consumer version of my Iron Horse-my 4 legged steam punk walker. I still need to add a Howitzer and possibly a Gatling Gun (and do the detail work on the carriage). I envision this for large farms where the workers drag several tilling machines behind. The Royal army would use this to get a higher vantage point and maneuver the large cannons into a better position.







Stay tuned to see the Military version

FINALLY.... Got off the couch and did something.

After a stint of the blues for a less than stellar experience with a client back in February.....I finally got started with a couple of projects that I could sink my teeth into. I created a skull mask for Elisa-which I will post in the coming days. A new Steampunk Mech that I am working on as well as an art trade with Stefan Bucher (creater of DailyMonster.com). Right now is the beginnings of my Steampunk mech-I dont know if it will also be a two-legged chicken walker or a full fledged 4 legged machine like the AT-AT. Here are three pics that show you where I am at.

This is the configuration of the main body.


Here are the parts-based off of an old Best Steam Tractor and a horse drawn carriage.


Detail of the carriage area


I am working on the leg mechanism as well as the chassis.

Creating a new Mechanized Robot for the Royal Family

Coming off of my fantastic experience at Hasbro (and not allowing the Fed Ex fiasco to hamper my elation)-I am starting on a new Steam Punk Mechanized machine based on 17th century Flemish and German armor craftsman(shown in book). Plus early Fowler engine reference. The drawing that I did shows a Spanish Morion Helmet (different from the jousting, closed face ones).



Here is the body.



And another shot of the trusses which will become the right arm (sword arm)

More SteamPunk Fun

So here are some more pics with minor commentary. Sorry for the long pic post.

Here, the feet are complete as well as the body. I had a design change from an upright Mech to more of a chicken walker like ED-209 or the AT-ST.





Here is the body. This side shows the gears...most of them. I am still finishing up some cogs and such.



And here is the pipe side with a better view of the Gatlin Gun (which is an authentic model from old Civil War pics)I have some more valve handles I want to add as well as maybe some chains (how I am going to make those out of paper-I'm still working on it)



Here are the completed legs on the body

SteamPunk Mechanized Walker

Construction has begun on a steam driven mechanized walking manlike machine of epic proportions. Crews have finished the boiler and the beams for the legs. Issues with the driver canopy have surfaced. The designer has not decided on whether to have a nice comfortable seat under a canopy or house the driver in an armored carapace. Updates to come....

New Project-Steampunk Mech

So, after my 4th of July project-I received alot of compliments about my mech (which didn't burn). So I am creating a series of 10 inch steampunk mechs. I just started on my first one-but here is the original







And here is where the hand launched off as planned and exploded. The gun fell off after the first missle took off-then spun in circles while the other 5 shot out. Then the smoke came, but no explosion. It now sits in my window.......handless.
