Steampunk Star Wars

Steampunk versions of Star Wars.   In an earlier post I already had steampunk AT-AT and other vehicles, so this one I focus more on other types.  I hope you enjoy them!

1820 Clockwork Caterpillar

1820:Mechanical Robot Caterpillar

“Made by Swiss watchmaker Henri Maillardet for sale to aristocratic Chinese buyers. The gold, enamel, jewel and pearl-set automaton mimics the caterpillar’s crawl with a clockwork powered mechanism which drives a pair of gilt-metal knurled wheels. 

“It was titled ‘the Ethiopian caterpillar’ when Maillardet, in partnership with watchmaker Jaquet Droz, organized an exhibition to show off his miniaturised automata in London.”

Steampunk Airship Crew Post 3

In my third edition of Steampunk Airship Crew, you once again get to figure out who you will hire as your crew for the third Airship in your growing fleet of dirigibles.  Are you an air pirate?  A conqueror?  A defender?  A traveler and explorer?  A sky trader?  Smuggler?  It is up to you what to do with your ship, but crew members are hard to come by and may or may not fit your expectations.  You can’t hire them all, so who would you pick out of the following applicants?

Steampunk/Clockwork Bugs! (Part One)

These are all Steampunk/Clockpunk/Clockwork Bugs.  I have too many for one post, so maybe next week I will post part two.  Until then, please enjoy these wonderfully crafted items from people at various places with much more talent than I have.  I must also put in a small plug, that clockwork bugs, much larger and deadlier than these, play an important role in The Travelers’ Club – Fire and Ash, on sale now on Kindle, Smashwords, local bookstores, and on this site, under STORE tab.  I hear the author is very creative…  🙂
