Not really steampunk. I'd call it "retro-reality"!

These pieces are neat.

Check out the sci fi Mutant Chronicles. Steam powered rifles, cannons and my favorite was the steam powered aircraft. I enjoyed the movie.

Primarily posted for Professor Marvel's amusement, but I'll be the Devil's Advocate for anyone who'd be motivated enough to cobble up their own interpretations.

Thank you My Good Story -
The Krutsch is the epitome of a steamy rifle!
BUT i fear the Curtis falls short, looking more like a tube-and wire prototype of a toy squirtgun :-(

Good example!  Trench warfare with steam-powered projectile weapons, poison gas, alien possession, and swords. . . gotta love it!

New Steam Punk movie coming out.   "Mortal Engines."   Trailers look just wacky enough to be good.

Googling sure beats playing solitaire 'til dawn..!  Found more steampunk reality; Boer war "road train" and WW I US steam tank.

That would get the person carrying it arrested in Kanuckistan where the rcmp now warms people not to be on the street with air guns, BB guns or replicas which are now classified as "firearms".

Thanks Sir Charles  :)

PJ.... I can sympathize,  but not entirely   :(  as I'm a citizen , not a subject , still as a citizen we must remain ever diligent, 

here below the Medicine line ,  by the vote and the grace of God, we still have our 2nd Amendment.

The 2nd Amendment is all that is saving you.

Our government denies it, but even we "subjects" of the Crown have the same rights you do, granted under the Magna Carta and outlined in Blackstones's Commentaries on the Common Law of England.

These inalienable rights came across the Atlantic with the people who populated Canada just as surely as they did with the American pioneers. As it says at the Blaine, Washington border crossing arch - "Children of a Common Mother".

That can be interpreted to mean that "Mom" was a common woman and slept around, hence we have different national "fathers".  :-[

But what we share today are people in high places that are "globalist" in their world view rather than "nationalist". You are lucky to have Trump who puts America first.

Our national leader has stated that Canada is the world's first "post national state" with no history or core values worth preserving. That should have caused riots in the streets and a storming of the Bastille on Parliament Hill, but the true characteristics of Canadians are acquiescence and compliance through long years of social engineering.

Gentlepersons-
instead of politics, let us wish each other "happy holidays" and return to the steampunkish topic :-)

since i have a quantity of parts, i have slowly begun a remington project inspired by Tinker.

i never understood "why" the remmington has that long nose on the frame, so I took a beater frame and cut it off
and re-shaped the front of the frame a tish. Since I plan for this to be a snubby with a barrel of perhaps 3" or less,
I am pondering the possibility of filling in the rammer hole as well. I am also planning on making this one a little
"steamy" so any ideas you may offer are welcome.

photos will follow, hopefully, after I get done running around.....

Yay Prof,
We need pics, I work better visually.   I am thinking at the very least, a gear inlay in the grip.  Possibly make it part of a airship captain's gear.

After being involved in CAS since around 1989 and having been really into good looking duds I've finally gotten to the point that I don't care what folks wear to the matches.  Steam Punk?  OK,  B Western,  Sure.  Anything is fine.  I just wish I could ditch all that and wear my normal jeans, Redwing chukkas, work shirt, and ball cap.

Hasn't the costuming issue has gotten sorta tiresome?
