Arm Envy

In Steampunk, it’s all about the arms… If you don’t believe me, check out the following gallery. (click to enlarge pictures). For those of you not familiar with “Steampunk” it is alternative historical fiction with a science fiction flair, set between 1800 and 1900, during the English Victorian period and the American Civil War and Wild West period. HG Wells, Jules Verne, The Wild Wild West, 20,000 leagues under the sea, Sherlock Holmes, Cowboys and Aliens, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer are all “steampunk.” Enjoy!
