Rabidrat1 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 A little light and shelf combo in a steampunk genre I have been busy with.Must still put the valve handle on bottom right and possibly a pressure gauge. Haven't quite decide weather to leave it industrial or do the whole paint and brass highlight thing.Comments and crit welcome:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hey, that's cool stuff. I'd definitely put some paint on it. That would make it more stylish. My opinion, of course...Bests:Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenylittlemetalguy Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I like that. without the more refined components and brass more typical of steampunk it would lean toward calling it dieselpunk. but either way good job. I also like the candles in the corner as I am a sucker for tapered bends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Nice build but it needs either a clean paint job or brass. The paint can, maybe should have signs of wear, nicks, etc. but it shouldn't just be some smudges sprayed on. Steampunk needs to look plausibly useable.A gauge would be a nice touch on the right shelf say replace the elbow with a T fitting so the gauge can stand proud of the shelf. A person needs to know when to stop adjusting the valve you know.All in all a very nice job, I really like it. I've been a steampunk fan since the first time I saw "From the Earth To The Moon" and then "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea."Frosty The Lucky.

LastRonin Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks Frosty. Appreciate the input. Gauges are almost impossible to find here If you add your location to your profile maybe someone nearby could help you find one/some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks Frosty. Appreciate the input. Gauges are almost impossible to find here Hmmmm, how about taking an old clock apart to make an analogue gauge of some indeterminate type or function? Oh wait, you'd have all those gears to get rid of what a hassle. . . <grin>ON the other hand, you're living on the Gulf Coast and can't find gauges? All that oil and gas industry and hurricane wear and tear and you can't find gauges?Dude, you gotta get out of the house more! <grin>Frosty The Lucky.
