TheBoyWonder Posted July 20, 2012 I have always loved SciFi and recently found an interest in steampunk. I have made a few customs using Pharaohs Quest piecies, but what other sets are good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted July 20, 2012 Dino sets, definitely. If you want a steampunkish character in green, you have to get Dino sets. The tranq gun bodies are useful too. For the rest you have to use whatever set you can find the right parts from. Collectible Minifigures are a good source too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerstein NWC Posted July 20, 2012 If you like after market accessories look up Guy Himber on Flickr - his name is V&A Steamworks he manufactures custom extra tall Stovepipe hats which look great for Steampunk figs. f you are a purist take a look at the Orient Expedition figures too :) -Other figs that are useful are soime of the CMFs - The bagpiper and detective Detective (sherlock holmes) torso's especially. I've used them here myself and I love steampunk - I've made quite a few figs and such myself. (please excuse some shameless self promotion) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HawkLord Posted July 20, 2012 I have always loved SciFi and recently found an interest in steampunk. I have made a few customs using Pharaohs Quest piecies, but what other sets are good? The Monster Fighters line has some good minifigures with robotic arms and legs, plus period style clothes and weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
______ Posted July 20, 2012 Best theme has to be the new Monster Fighters theme, surely that theme was MADE for us Steampunk fans! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted July 20, 2012 Yes, especially the MF new robot leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBoyWonder Posted July 21, 2012 Thank you. Picked up a Dino set and am planning to get a few monster fighter sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Also, the dino´s themselves are great as the core of a Steampunk MOC. Edited July 21, 2012 by DraikNova Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puck Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) I would go with the Orient Expedition sets...but seeing as they are somewhat uncommon...the Dino sets would probably the wy to go... ;) Edited July 22, 2012 by Puck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted July 22, 2012 Especially the Orient Expedition balloon. That balloon is actually supposed to be steam-powered I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legomr Posted July 22, 2012 It really depends. Obviously, individual collectable minifigures are great for steam punk. I also think the old pirate theme (with all the epaulettes and so on) is great for that, as are Kingdom sets. Haven't got any Monster Fighter sets yet, but that obviously works too, as would LotR sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted July 22, 2012 Again, what the guy above me said is completely true, LotR sets are also good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
______ Posted July 24, 2012 There are many, MANY themes, you just need to be dexterous in your use. For example, the Star Wars tusken raider body is really good for Steampunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted July 24, 2012 Like others have said, most of the adventurers stuff and the Monster Fighters are good for steampunk figs. Also, if you can still find the Hoth rebel battle pack, it's also a good source of tan torsos and hats, dark tan legs, and goggles. The pilot from the Naboo planet set and the upcoming collectable minifigure with the bowler hat should be useful too. Also, the dino´s themselves are great as the core of a Steampunk MOC. Uhm, wouldn't that make them Dinopunk? Dinosaurs don't really fit into steampunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DraikNova Posted August 5, 2012 I just meant you can use the dino's for steampunk MOCs. Clad the dinos in steampunk armor and your MOCs will look awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
