Steamcroft is a small town. The citizens produce their own food and creating machinery for exploration and everyday use. In steamcroft lives a inventor. He's busy designing machinery. This machinery will be assembled in the large factory. There's a multi-level home for de citizens. The discoverers have their own Discoverers Lodge. Robots are working in the factory and maintaining the garden and the greenhouse. At the left side of the factory, there's a coal mine. The coal will be used in the factory and as fuel for the machinery. Pictures: Town Square. Tracked vehicle. Garden.

Dear All, after @Auroralampinen has very recently posted an excellent and very positive review of the Pantasy #85021 Steam Punk Airship set in this thread, I thought I briefly share a couple of things I did with my own copy of that set, purchased earlier this year. As you can see in @Auroralampinen's review, all 3 propellers, as well as the fins in the back, plus a number of decorative gears, are connected through a serious drive train to one single knob on the starboard side of the ship’s body/aft upper structure. Manually turning this knob turns on everything. This location is fully compatible with installing (literally just adding and securing it with a couple of plates) a Tenka Cubit Motor Cube others here on EB as well as myself have used to motorize their MOCs/models. In the recent past, I used two of these motors to get my Pantasy #85007 Steam Punk Suspended Train moving on elevated track consisting of 5V/12V rails, see here. The motors are propelled by the Tenka Bluetooth Battery Cube, which has BL connectivity (well, as the name says ^^). As described in the above referenced 85007 thread, and particularly owing to @Asper and @Ts__, these cubes nicely hook up to an ESP32 Devkit 1 board or the like, provided the appropriate libraries are referenced in the PlatformIO plugin for Visual Studio Code. Not only one of them Cubes, but many can be addressed, if you like. In addition, the ESP32 also knows how to hook up a PUp LEGO remote (#88010) and there you go, you have two dials and 7 buttons at your disposal for remote control. Upon turning the two BT Battery Cubes, one in the train, the other one in the airship, as well as the LEGO remote on and firing up the ESP32, all three devices connect and I can control both train and airship using the buttons. Or do some automation, as shown in the 85007 thread. ... yeah, there always is. In addition to propelling the propellers, I wanted to lift the airship into the air, and then have it circling around. There is not that much free airspace in my attic (first, it has sloped walls, second all sorts of things are hanging from the ceiling: Tie fighters, propeller airplanes, X-wings, helicopters …), so the radius of that circle needed to be small. Nevertheless, a 3 kg heavy bunch of ABS bricks exerts some dragging force to the mount when pivoting around. mount that airship to one of the two stacked glass disc insulators (4 discs) I saved from being trashed by the Deutsche Bahn years ago when they renewed the overhead lines for local trains nearby. The insulators are simply beautiful. Thick green glass, as if they were made from emeralds. All these years, both of them were sitting in my workshop in the basement, and I could not come up with something appropriate, well, until now . This calls for making a ceiling mount for the insulator and a turntable for the airship. Well, and using another motor for turning the turntable. I selected a second Cubit Motor Cube, as then I could fuel that thing using the BT Battery Cube installed in the back section of the airship. With regard to getting electricity to both motors: The propeller drive is easy, two female Dupont connectors + two insulated wires, as Cubic elements use Dupont style connectors to connect, it is that simple. For juicing the turntable motor from below (to prevent wires from tangling up upon multiple 360° rotations) I decided to running current through the two steel wires carrying the airship. Each is wired from the wooden mount attaching to the turntable through the airship’s roof down to the white 1x4 technic bricks (as seen in section “bag 5” of @Auroralampinen’s review), over to the adjacent side, and back through the roof to the mount. I then made a cable with one Dupont connector with 2 insulated cables and soldered the ends to the two ship-carrying steel wires. The turntable motor uses also a custom cable: Dupont connector, insulates wires, soldered to two alligator clips. The latter are just for the looks – it is more steam punky. Well, nonsense, this way it is much easier to get the airship off the hook for maintenance and stuff. Well, and it >is< more steam punky. Here are a few photographs of the ship and the mount: The entire assembly nicely "swings", when the ship is pivoting. Finally: Yes, I know, much more powerful turntables are readily available for purchase. But there is a strict rule implemented here: If there is a chance that I can make "a thing" from "stuff" I have available in the house, I have to use that "stuff". Upon failure, there are chances for negotiating that rule with the house authority. What was available? All sorts of scrap wooden pieces, as I do the flooring, some furniture, and other wooden construction etc. in/around the house myself. Screws, nuts, and bolts. Used IKEA curtain rod brackets. And little rollers – I simply forgot why I bought them – maybe they just looked … handy, one day. Ah, yes and LEGOssss of course. Particularly these large curved gear racks and worm drives. So here’s the plan I made before firing up the power tools (I do everything in PowerPoint/MLCad/c/p, so forgive me for the crappy "plan"): * This view is with the top removed; the LEGO gear racks attach to the top though and are just shown for alignment purposes, see below. On the right are these mini "rollers" I bought some day for no apparent reason. *Two rollers are not shown, because I so not know how to do that in PowerPoint. And, these were my simply my blueprints. There seem to be cold, riveted girders, nobody uses anymore ... who you gonna call? Lastly, here is a very brief, very crappy video. I will do that again, with more finesse , leading to a just crappy video. I am simply not good at this, nor do I have the appropriate gear. Good excuses, aren’t they? https://uni-wuppertal.sciebo.de/s/6ZmttgTE7igfGQR All the best, Thorsten

Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Jacek and Placek: Known also as The Two Who Stole the Moon Loosely based on Kornel Makuszyński's 1928 story "The Two Who Stole the Moon".

The mechanical detail is more aesthetic than plausible. Yet, there are elements taken from what an early steam walker should have looked like, besides the vibrant colours. Most of its inhards are shown, there are very few largue pieces of metal, structural elements take over shape design. It is somewhat outlandish, taking a mechanical shape similar to that of many tin toys. Even if it seems to be something rather decorative, there are a few tricks to make it more resistant than it seems. Legs rest directly over the axle pillar and the superstructure it hides. Feet are also anchored to the base to avoid deformation.

Like many people, I regarded steam locomotives as rather dark and monstrouos machines untill I first saw their early iterations. It was a novel technology at the time, so embelishing them for the amazed crowds and potential contractors should have been appropiate. The mechanical detail is more aesthetic than plausible.

Greeting all! Please enjoy and comment my MOC - this is kinda steampunk walking wooden stove from famous Russian fairy tale - Russian speaking users will recon it straight. I am new to this forum but looking for no mercy from more experienced readers. Have fun commenting! WBR -
Once I have visit city Ternopil (Ukraine), and saw there a nice church. Since that I wanted to recreate it in bricks. It is not exactly that church (and not in Ternopil), but also not bad, as for me. For the second tower I just haven't parts. Also I haven't parts for square in front, so I made just stands for small scenes of citylife and unite all in one with pipes. So free your imagination ;-)

This is my 2018 build in steampunk style of a flying rock with a small house on top. It has a dock with airboat moored. The rock houses rechargeable battery which in turn powers an M-motor that drives the windmill. The airboat features two domes right from Johnny Thunder Scorpio Palace set. I have waited several years to use it in this configuration :P when finally I had good opportunity to do so. I hope you'll enjoy it! I only have photos from the exhibition, I'm sorry for lack of clarity due to that. There are some distractions in the background...

This story is set in my Adventures / Monster fighters / Pharaoh's Quest Universe of the early 1920's. (First off, I want to apologize for these photos: I didn't have an area big enough to handle the four story tall building, so I improvised. It doesn't look very pretty, but it's passable.) I was inspired to create this model from the 2018 Jurassic World set 75930, Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate, with some design cues from set 10228, Haunted House. I made the mansion to replace this other MOC I had made, but don't worry, the other building still exists, it's just empty right now. The Wormwood Estate The dollhouse-style model was built from the set pictures, with the play features removed and opening rear sections added to match the front half. The model also features a round window for letting in moon light in on the mad doctor's experiments, along with lightning rods on top of the house. (for powering his experiments) The rear of the mansion features a back door (perfect for escapes when the locals get feisty about the scientist playing with time travel again!) and the chimney flue. The bottom floor features the living room and dining rooms, while the second floor is the bedroom, study and pipe organ rooms. The third floor features the laboratory for the study of time travel. The rear door to the outside is in this section, while the safe containing the house's title and family paper work is directly above on the second level. This area also has stairs from first to second floors. The left rear quarter features the fireplace and telephone on the first floor and a bed for the second floor's master bedroom. The stairs to the third floor are also on this side. The Wormwood Family Automobile The stylish car is heavily modified version of Brick-Link set BL19011 (Vintage Roadster) turned blue. The car model is about 10 studs wide (with a large overhang on each side due to the white fenders on front and rear) and is 36 studs long, front bumper to rear bumper. The car can now seat two mini-figure's in the seating area, and as before feature removable engine cowling sections for a look at the V8 heart of the car. The headlights are now secured more tightly, and the front windscreen glass is now trans-black and not inclined anymore. (it was bugging the heck out of me that it wouldn't stay in place!) The taillights were moved down onto the rear bumper. No real reason for the change, it just seemed like a good idea. The Time Machine Vehicle (TMV) Here is the Scientist's 1920's-period time machine, rebuilt from set 76109 (Quantum Realm Explorers). I fixed the rotating side engines of the original Marvel superheroes set, as these objects are now (mostly) locked in the position shown. The Time Travelers' Family, Friends & Foes In order from Left to Right: Mr. Harold Sutton: wealthy financial backer of Dr. Wormwood's experiments with time travel. Secretly wishes to have full control over the project for it's use by an unknown, Sinister third party. Mrs. Evelyn Sutton: sister of Dr. Wormwood (whom she despises) and step-mother of Gracie Sutton. Married to Mr. Sutton, who shares in her secret hatred of Dr. Wormwood. Grandad Joseph Wormwood: Father of Dr. Wormwood and Evelyn Sutton, and grandfather of Billy. His wife is deceased and he is living with Nancy, Billy, and the Doctor in Wormwood Manor. Gracie Sutton: Stepdaughter of Evelyn, and daughter of Harold Sutton & a complete sociopath. She enjoys tormenting people for pleasure, including younger cousin Billy Wormwood. Billy Wormwood: son of Nancy Wormwood and the good Doctor. Secretly tormented by cousin Gracie, he tries to find an escape from his predicament in any way. Nancy Wormwood: mother of Billy, and is concerned by Gracie's "play dates" with her son. After spying on Gracie Sutton tormenting Billy, she forbids her from seeing him, which puts the Doctor's financial backing at risk as payback by the Sutton family. "X": The mysterious masked man (woman?) who kidnaps Billy in 1922 with his time travel equipment. This person is also showed up on the Wormwood's estate lawn many years ago, resulting in Dr. Wormwood's fascination with time travel. Mrs. Katie Johnson: Town busybody and local telephone operator, who keeps an ear to private conversations for her own gain. Wife of Officer Pete Johnson, who (usually) keeps her in line. Officer Pete Johnson: Member of Scotland Yard and lives near Sutton Estate & Wormwood Manor. Is keen to know just what's going on when Billy get's kidnapped by "X" and Dr. Wormwood goes off to find him in time and space. NOT PICTURED: Dr. William Wormwood: The brains behind the brand-new invention of the time machine vehicle (or TMV, for short) and rebuilder of the giant mechanoid the Brass Automaton. Father of Billy, husband of Nancy, and financial backing recipient of the Sutton family, as his fortune was wiped out in his previous attempts at travel through time. The end of the Story? More may come later, I'm not quite sure on what steampunk thing to build after the robot, which now has his own thread. As usual, comments, questions and comments are always welcome! -
Water Mill Lego MOC - With Power Functions Old german water mill with Steampunk alternate side with Power Functions Special thanks to BricksToGo -
So, here's a MOC that's actually a few years old that I'd neglected to post because I wasn't super satisfied with the photos nor the build itself, but after stumbling across it again browsing through folders I think it has at least some merit, so I now present to you... The Abomirex (or A-rex if you prefer)! A mechanical monster created by one of the most diabolical minds in all the known world as a weapon of terror and conquest. Sporting massive razor-sharp claws, built-in weaponry, and tremendous mechanical strength, only the most skilled and nimble of heroes can hope to stop it. Initially conceptualized as far more overtly birdlike, with wings utilizing the clear orange sail pieces from that one Ninjago set, but I couldn't come up with a decent enough design and thus went in a more saurian direction because dinosaurs are neat. It can't see through walls, however, which could provide our hero with the upper hand. (also sort of inspired by the movie "9" and by extension the short film it was based on) Snout splits open to reveal a flamethrower. Hope your shield spell is up to snuff, or you'll be snuffed out. Get it? Fire jokes. One of its least immediately obvious weapons is its bladed claw tail, catching its opponents by surprise! But if caught, perhaps a lucky swing could bring our hero close enough to a weak point... The conspicuous power source on its back totally wasn't that weak point, why do you ask? At ease, or perhaps scanning the horizon. In profile. Torso construction detail. Full disclosure, I don't remember it being particularly sturdy, and in addition to looking somewhat jumbled overall, it's part of why I'd neglected to share it earlier. But the aesthetic still sort of works for a steampunk/dieselpunk/frankenstein mad sciencey sort of look. (also tangent time: I hate steampunk and think it's super overplayed, or at least the variation of it that everyone falls back on. what part of "british aristocracy in fancy dress with gears glued to it" is "punk", exactly?) Obligatory gag scene. Full gallery here!

I wanted to build it for next Shiptember, but its impossible to wait if an idea in your head doesn't want to leave it 24/7. For sure its not 100 studs long but also not so small. I try to realize similarity with early battleships of XX century, added a big headlight like in steam locomotive, some other elements I took from art, I found in internet. And as a result we have this: the corvette bearing the number 04. It is one of Iron-class spaceships from Morgrim squadron. His captain is fearless Quark Quasarsson. I don't know why but I've invented the crew also. There is no space inside the ship to put them in, so they can only stand on the deck. But I just like them. Funny characters with cool names. On the group photo you can see the Captain itself, his helper boatswain Wimp Fuorsson, cannoneers squad an their Corporal Blazar HI, techintians and First engineer Pulsar Higgs. Some details

This weekend I got my hands on some of the new Lego Movie 2 CMFs. As one of them was the "Apocalypse Abraham Lincoln", I decided to create a post-apocalypse version of his rocket chair from the first movie. I went for a Steampunk theme to go with his new look and for a few hour's work, I think the result's not too bad. I give you The Emancipator Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr I also came up with a little backstory for the pilot... Obviously he's not the real Abe Lincoln, he's actually a former history teacher who, following the DUPLO invasion, found himself living in Apocalypseburg. Like most of the town's citizens, he had heard of the horrors beyond the town's walls; the cat worshipping warrior women, the mutant swamp beasts, the rogue biker gangs and worse (not to mention the DUPLO aliens themselves). Unlike many of the other citizens though, he decided to do something about it. Creating a persona based on the original Abraham Lincoln, he set about bringing freedom to all with the help of his steam powered, lighter than air, balloon chair airship (there's a sentence I never thought I'd type!!). Named The Emancipator it takes him out across the desert wastelands in search of the weak and vulnerable who he guides back the the relative safety of Apocalypseburg. I like to try an imagine how such a craft might actually work and this is what I've come up with!! (complete with dodgy Steampunk pseudo-science!!) Lift comes from spherical balloon filled with lighter than air gas.. Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr While the rear mounted steam driven propellor provides forward thrust... Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Heat from the firebox (the 2x1 black textured brick) heats the water in the rear most cylinders. The resulting steam is fed into the power unit where it drives a turbine and spins the drive shaft and the prop. The exhaust gases from the fire escape through the chimney while the steam condenses in the forward cylinders for reuse. Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr For defence, The Emancipator is equipped with 2 "Faraday Cannons". Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr The specially designed glass cylinder collects and stores atmospheric electricity. When needed this can be released as a powerful burst of lightning. Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr The craft is still a WIP, "Abe" hopes to continue to improve on the design (a larger hot-air version using the exhaust gases to fill the balloon is one idea, he is also looking to fit it with searchlights and enhanced vision equipment to allow it to operate at night) but for now, "Abe" and his craft remain a welcome sight for those pour souls trapped in the wastelands... Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr I have to say I really enjoyed this build. Having never built a Steampunk inspired model before it was good fun and we may see more of "Abe" and his adventures!! Thanks for looking - comments are always welcome!!

This MOC of author H.G. Wells' time-traveling vehicle from the novel 'The Time Machine' (specifically this MOC is inspired by the excellent 1960 movie version) was designed by user D3ner over on Rebrickable. You can see those free instructions here, though it requires major modifications to be buildable in real life. My brother re-built that MOC digitally in Studio and edited it for me to make it more stable and look better. This model completes my Time Machine collection* and has technically been built since mid-December, but wasn't completed until today when my brother found me an Steampunk Inventor fig from CMF series 27 at Walmart. (Thanks bro!) The Inventor fig fits perfectly with the time machine, and his hat just barely fits over the top of the seat, almost like they were made for each other. *My five time machines include: Bill & Ted's Phonebooth The TARDIS BTTF Time Train BTTF DeLorean H.G. Wells' Time Machine Thoughts? (Also, @Peppermint_M, if you think this belongs somewhere else, feel free to move it where you see fit. I honestly wasn't sure where to put this MOC.)

Not sure where to place it, but it's more realistic than sci-fi, so here is my latest build: Another year has passed, Lily is wandering on the streets of the Imperial City during fall, the many leaves cause some minor troubles for the people, but Lily is enjoying all the colorful leaves around town. She is also watching a marvelous steam powered leaf mulcher which is also shredding some of the leaves next to the service station. ~ The Imperial City Guard is again doing his rounds on the streets, this time with a nice fur coats to guard against the cold wind.

After playing some old steampunk games, I decided to make a chess set using airships as playing pieces! Left to right: pawn, bishop, rook, knight, king, queen Queen: Devastator-class dreadnought. A fearless vessel bristling with broadsides and gun casemates. King: Pisces-class ferry. A weak, slow craft reserved for the ceremonial head of state. Rook: Scorpion-class carrier. A new invention, this vessel can strike targets at range with its fighter biplanes. Bishop: Shrike-class pursuit craft. A nimble vessel capable of dashing through openings in the enemy's defenses. Knight: Hornet-class strike craft. The Hornet is light and agile, allowing it to vanish behind enemy lines before unleashing a storm of autocannon fire. Pawn: Mayfly-class attack balloon. Mayflies are slow and weak, easily overcome by the enemy's flak batteries.

@LittleJohn and I collaborated on this build for the “Place of Business” category in the Wandering Skies contest. It was a challenging model due to the numerous additions off all sides meaning you couldn't simply build from the bottom up. Was a nice change of pace trying a large steampunk model though! It's complete on all sides, and through some of the doorways you can catch glimpses of interiors, though we didn't have time to fully complete all of them. R.G. Buckle’s mining outpost travels far and wide in search of valuable ores and metals on the many floating islands of Wandering Skies. The rugged and functional mobile outpost contains storage silos, a massive smelting furnace, and docks for their scouting and mining airships. Once they have collected a large supply of metals, the crew navigates back to civilization to sell their goods. Additional images on Brickbuilt.

I believe Steampunk should be posted here? Here's my new MOC, Smith's & co. steamworks: The brothers Smith, specialize in repairing and creating small steam powered engines for airships. Currently they are working on repairing an engine of a small Imperial Scout Schip (see: https://flic.kr/p/2nVMcHC) ~ A year has passed, since last time, and Lily is back in the Imperial city, back from her third visit to uncle Willard on the Iron Point Beacon a lighthouse near an important trading city of the Low Islanders (see https://flic.kr/p/2nUDs9z). ~ The Imperial City Guard is doing his rounds around the craft and harbor districts in the Imperial City.

Hello there! The "Wandering Skies Contest 2022" inspired me to build a steampunk MOC: Polaris! In the days when the empire was small and the world young, travel was guided by the stars. There was Capella, Sirius, Procyon, Elnath and many more. But the brightest and most important among them was Polaris, the North Star. Lying high and far away, it served as a guide even in the most remote colonies of the south. But one night, when it was already late, its light ceased to shine. Knowing its importance, the reigning King Nemo III immediately ordered the sending of adventurers to bring back the light of Polaris. But none of them ever was able to reach this remote place. Finally, Captain Gideon Winterman was sent out with his ship, the Pertinax, and John Alistair Sparks, and after seven months they reached the star, which after them no man would ever again undertake. The North Star, however, threatened to crash for lack of energy, which would have lost it for good. Then, as the legend goes, the adventurers dismantled the Pertinax and with the left engine they were able to keep the dying star in the air. Winterman and Sparks, however, could no longer leave the island. Instead, Sparks constructed a beacon, brighter than any before, by taking the lens from the Pertinax's fog lamp and replacing it with a polished ice crystal and Polaris' light returned to the night sky. Henceforth, the adventurers lived in huts built from the planks of the pertinax. And so Two saved the empire by becoming the lighthouse keepers of the North Star themselves forever. But as long as Polaris' light is ignited every night, the members of the Explorers' Guild continue to await the return of Gideon Winterman and John Alistair Sparks, hoping for a way back not yet considered or discovered. I hope you enjoy the MOC, as well as my story for it. For photos of Winterman and Spark have a look at my Flickr.

Hello everyone! This is my entry for the Sky's The Limit category of the Wandering Skies contest over on Flickr. It's a modular steampunk house on a floating island with full interior and lights, so come with me on a complete tour of it! On the outskirts of the Lower Islands on a small floating island, there lives an eccentric inventor called Dr. Wasserdampf. In his secluded workshop covered in various steaming pipes and whirling contraptions, he spends his days alone working on new inventions to improve the lives of the people of the Wandering Skies. Lights can often be seen shining from his workshop long after the sun goes down as he tinkers away into the night. While he mostly keeps to himself, many of the Low Islanders know him well and they know they can always come to him if they need any kind of mechanical solution. One of his best inventions includes his incredible balloonless flying machine which he keeps parked on a floating rock attached to his island by a rope bridge. Meet Dr. Heinrich Wasserdampf and his trusty mechanical dog Rusty. Here, the inventor is working on his steam jet powered flight pack. Let's take a closer look at his house, starting at the top. On the side of the tower is crane for lifting up water barrels and other heavy objects to the upper floors. To avoid having to crank it himself, the inventor connected it to a windmill mechanism. On starry nights, the inventor likes to relax on his self-built deck on the roof and chart the stars using his big telescope. There is a giant gear sticking out of one side of the house. It was meant for rotating the top part of the house so that it faces the wind like a windmill, but Wasserdampf couldn't get it to work, so now it lays dormant here, serving as a place for birds to setup their nest. The attic is where the inventor sleeps and showers. He cleans himself using a prototype showering device which heats up water and pours it onto his head using a steam pump. He calls it a "shower". The second floor is where the inventor lives. Up on the fireplace is a portrait and an urn of the inventor's late wife Hilda. She was a brilliant chemist, but fell terminally ill one day and they couldn't afford the state-of-the-art doctors in the Imperial City who could have given her the treatment she needed. She was the love of his life and the only person he couldn't help. He now honors her memory by helping as many people as he can with his inventions. There is also a small dinner table, a bookshelf, and a kitchen with a coal oven. In the inventor's workshop, there is a wall next to the workbench full of Dr. Wasserdampf's inventions that are designed to make life in the wandering skies easier, including a grappling hook, a flight pack, and a pneumatic wood chopping axe. The house used to belong to a blacksmith, so it has a forge in the workshop which the inventor occasionally uses to make metal parts for his contraptions. Next to it you can see another one of his inventions, the flight cap! In the center of the workshop, there is a trapdoor with a ladder that leads to the basement levels. In the basement, there are various stored goods including coal, a water boiler, a lamp, and the steam-powered wheelchair that the inventor built for his wife before she passed away. If you go down the ladder further, you get to a rope bridge that leads to the landing pad of the inventor's flying machine. That concludes our tour of the Inventor's house. What is your favorite part? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for stopping in.
