viracocha Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Sir Thomas, James Watt, the inventor, subject of Her Majesty the Queen Victoria, while traveling through the Wild West. In his youth, Tom lost his left arm in an unsuccessful test of improved by him steam engine. From its wreckage he has made his first prosthesis. His last prosthesis with full hand functionality serves him well as firearms. This will be valuable in the dangerous Thomas's journey through the Wild West. Axle-free wheels with forged steel rim on the electrodynamic suspension are getting out from any scrape, be it rocks or quicksand. Generator produces enough electricity to power a lamp and electrodynamic suspension. Asynchronous two-cylinder engine with superheat can reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour. Reinforced boiler sustains steam pressure up to 20 atmospheres. Frontal arc lamp was taken from the steam locomotive. Sir Thomas James Watt with his customary top hat and a monocle. Watt's steam cycle with dignity withstand all the trials, as well as his inventor. Edited April 7, 2013 by Rufus Indexed Quote
Andy D Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Very nice steamcycle! I really like the whimsy and he colors are perfect! Andy D Quote
viracocha Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Thank you guys! I know that almost all steampunk builders are working in minifigure scale and miniland builders prefer to build real-life things. By this MOC I have tried to familiar them with each other. Quote
SteampunkDoc Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Ooh, that's cool. Love the monocle, and the steam, and the wheels, and unusual scale, and really just about everything about this MOC. You've captured all sorts of sweet details in this, and the scale only helps to highlight your creativity. I did find one tiny design flaw, that of the rider's shoulder's getting burned whenever he leans back. But it's still a sweet model. Quote

It is very valuable for me. Glad that you noticed the flaw with the short chimneys! The main idea was to build old steam cycle with the modern look like design. And safety was sacrificed for the style. Quote
Pikachu Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Wow! I like your style! Maybe you should make both legs closer to bike? Quote
viracocha Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Wow! I like your style! Maybe you should make both legs closer to bike? Thank you, Pikachu! Unfortunately, the lack for parts for my new MOC forced me to breack down this one. May be next time. Quote
