First up, we have the Salamander-

Baron Clinton Gunn (Nicknamed "Smokey" or "Smokin'" due to his 'shoot first, ask questions later' attitude.), a brash American chap, wanted in on the Steam-Power phenomenon. Too busy counting out his fortune to get his hands dirty, he charged his downtrodden butler with the task. Mysteriously, the Salamander's rear fin was never affixed, and Baron Gunn is currently plummetting to the ground. His butler is nowhere to be seen, nor is Smokey's big pile of money...

Model comes to bang-on 50 pieces.

Next, it's the Whirlybird-

Dr. Oliver Chapp (Oll' to his friends. Apologies for the pun.) navigates the spires of Steampunk Oxford in his Whirlybird, a not-so-sophisticated contraption made from the Aviation Scholars' leftovers. Crank the handle at the back to turn the rotors, and the propellers really spin! (What, if TLG can list that as a feature, so can I!)

Also comes to 50 pieces.

Finally (for now), I've got the Wrong Trousers. Ring any bells? ;)

Main picture:

Pieces:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheJinjaNinja/LEGO/Custom/MOCs/Steampunk/wrongtrousersparts.png

Prof. Victor Ian (the puns just get worse, don't they?) pilots these bipedal bloomers, fresh from his Victorian workshop in Old London Town. Created to get people around faster, this machine's also a great laugh at parties and comes in handy if you're an evil penguin mastermind. (Feathers! I'm watching you...)

Once again, this comes to 50 pieces.

Well, folks, that's all my entries for now. Maybe if I gain super-building skillz tomorrow, I can get a few more in, and I might have some sepia images later. Additional photos are on my Brickshelf (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=307253) when public, and (somewhere) on my Flickr, linked to in my name.

This one was just for fun anyway...

Jerac said...: My two entries:

The Wind Conraption - a little flying machine powered by mysterious aether-like substance which gives enormous amount of heat. Inventor believes it will become a standard way of transportation in close future.

The Mechano-Hopper was meant to be a quick vehicle for couriers or postmans, which is not fearing bad roads or hard terrain. Somehow nobody likes the idea of sitting on huge spring though... current record on riding the Mechano-Hopper without getting sick is about 6 minutes.

Buckskinn92 said...: Heyo!

Here is my entry. My apologies go to "tchad". I started this model in LDD about two weeks ago. I then forgot about it, and just finished it last night.

The iPod of the past is now finally available! I have not had any specific design of whether the SteamPod plays music or not. But it sure looks cool. Another apology *cringes* to tchad. The track also moves all the gears for real moving screen.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=307245

Link goes to my Brickshelf folder that has all the pictures of the SteamPod. The brick count is exactly 50 pieces. :)

Thanks again for an awesome contest!

Nannan Z said...: Sam Sawyer's Destructo Walker

Brickshelf

The disillusioned genius Sam thinks he can finally show every steampunk engineer who’s really in charge. The dual knockout cannons launch rubber fist projectiles to strike down his rivals. Model contains 50 pieces.; March 15, 2008 10:54 AM
Ed M said...: Another one of Ralph J Sombery's grandchildren wanted to display his steam machine. Built by Conner Somerby this working model is what he calls a Two Steam Tank. It has many features of technologies both found in the Steampunk era and maybe some fanciful "inventions". The Two Steam Tank contains two steam tanks in case one runs out. There is an extrodinary useful glow-in-the-dark stick for other steamships to be able to see it in the dark and for balance. Coming out of the port side tank is a large stack of steam (you have to pretend the green part is white). On the other tank (starboard tank) there is a exit valve for steam with a little steam coming out (rear, white) with a plug in front. The big wheel can be connected to a truck to get more fuel. The pull in the middle is the on/off switch. When the top touches the steam it shuts off.

You might see the influence of his grandfather's Solo Steam Rocket in this model. But the young and very proud Conner likes to claim the orginality of his ideas in this design. And it should be noted that Ralph J Sombery is greatly proud of young Conner and proudly submits this design for the contest.

Total part count - 34 pieces (picture still)

For more picture stills please visit young Conner's Sketchbook at the Brickshelf Library.; March 15, 2008 11:21 AM
