AudiBobaR5-D2 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Nice Steampunk Star Wars mix. Why does it though, that the spider reminds me of the one from "Wild Wild West"? Not a critiscm, just looks really familiar. Good luck Quote

Not a critiscm, just looks really familiar. Good luck That was definitely in my head while I was making it. As was this... My original version had more of a engine on the back, but it was looking too much like two separate builds (one DSD and one steampunk engine) so I incorporated the engines more into the middle. I just got done editing it with GIMP for practice (thank you BEAVeR). Here is an updated shot. Round 3 - DSD1 front gimp by goatman461, on Flickr Quote

Manx Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I never thought, Star Wars and Steampunk could mix together in so many great ways! Quote
goatman461 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Posted August 28, 2014 Thank you everybody that voted. In light of that, C & C on the Vulture Droid would be especially appreciated. I agree that the photography and editing needs to improve. Part of that was being stuck with a solid week without clouds in Texas and having to move those shots inside. I think, and I'm sure BEAVeR said this, that the propulsion system for this build also needed to be more apparent or more industrial. Please let me know what you think. Don't worry about being too harsh; I'm a big boy. Quote
goatman461 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 Here's my final entry and edited pics of my previous entries. This contest has been grueling and my entries weren't at half the scale of Markus's. I hope y'all like my builds regardless of how the votes turn out. This was my first shot at steampunk but it certainly won't be my last. Head over here to vote in the final round.

goatman461 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) My local LUG is having a theme swap competition and I've been wanting to make a steampunk cloud car for a while. Please let me know what you think and areas where it could improve. It took a lot of rebuilds to get the middle section to take the weight of the two pods, but now it does a pretty good job.
