Copperhead Steam Powered Bike

As any discerning gentleman knows, getting there in style and reliably is paramount. The Martins Copperhead Steam Powered Bike is as powerful as any $2000 gasoline powered motor vehicle on the market. Two cycle steam generates over eight horses of power and can tops speeds of 15 miles per hour. The Extended saddle comfortable seats one or two. Can be refueled in less than five minutes.

The Alegna

This cool steampunk MOC comes from Gabe Umland.  It depicts Lahair on the deck of the Alegna, a floating boat. I love the design, it sorta reminds me of Mr. Kim's boat in Fifth Element, like a junk with no sail.

The Time Machine

Back before it was cool to put time machines in Deloreans and police call boxes, H. G. Wells showed us how it was done. And Pete Reid shows us how it's done in LEGO.  Incidently, in a total time paradox this photo was taken by a Canon Powershot in 1895. Clearly this thing works.

Steampunk Batcave

This is a mashup worth blogging. If Bruce Wayne lived at the turn of the century (the previous one that is) we can imagine this what Batman might have been. A steam powered tumbler...excellent.

The Pigeon

The smartest gentlemen know that getting where you're going in a hurry need not be by carriage or hansom, but by steam power.  And what better way than the Pigeon? You too can step lively and make an impression, and cut your commute by half. Why count your horse power by actual horses?

“The Pigeon is the cleverest contraption these tired eyes have seen in a long time.”

A Black Beauty

Seeing Der Steinadler navigating this small asteroid field I can hear the dramatic music in my head. It's like the illegitimate love child of Doc Brown's flying steam train and Jabba's sail barge, with a slick black paint job. I wanna swoosh it.

Great Googly Moogly!

That's a big MOC. That's a really big MOC. But size alone does not impress me, in fact I think there's too much emphasis on size sometimes. Big does not really equal great. But in this case, holy moly there's a lot to love. This is a collaborative build by oLaF LM, 74louloute and 6kyubi6 for "Fana'Briques 2013". It's immense, and there's detail everywhere you look. It has a cool steampunk meets medieval vibe I've never really seen and it works. More pics after the jump.

"Tack..Tack..Tack..Tack...Kuh-Ching...Swish..Clunk"

Matt Armstrong (AKA Monsterbrick) has always been one of my favorite builders. From his imagination comes some serious whimsy and mayhem. This steampunk retro typewriter is a perfect example of his style.  

It's Getting Steamy In Here

Steampunk is probably one of the most difficult to define, and master, genres of building. Some MOCs you look at and instantly think "steam", others fall short. And it's usually not really apparent why. You can't just say "should have more _____ and it would work". This MOC caught my eye, it's got great posture, excellent lines and wonderful detail. And there's no doubt about it, she's steamy.
