You're on a roll with these steampunk builds! Great wheel design with those dark bley connectors making great spokes

Wow, I really like the style of his build! Excellent all around! Colors and shapes match perfectly!

This looks even better then the Chicken Walker!

I love this as well as your chicken.

Man, I wish i had time to build steampunk as well. But so many builds in progress and yet, even more ideas in my head.

I totally love this ! So freaking awesome. An army of these for my Warhammer layout would be the coolest !

That is simply brilliant. A perfect blend of old style bicycles with the steampunk. Brilliant technique for the front wheel too, can you show internal details of that?

It is actually very simple, the trick is just that only 2 of the spokes are actually connected, the rest are just positioned to point toward the center of the wheel. There are 4 1x1 brick with studs on two sides holding the round plates together, two of which are facing "out" with spokes connected, and the other two are pointing "in". Did that make any sense?
