Steampunk pictures

Post your Steampunk pictures and ideas here ^_^

Captain Horatio Quicksilver

Just wow.....the attention to detail is awesome ^^
I have to find out how you made your props!
I'm a fan of making props, and love the challenge, so any tips you have would be great.

first and most important tip - don't ever try on that guantlet - the straps were so tight it cut off blood supply to my hand. i rescued and repainted a transformers toy for the new guantlet, which looks something like this:



the sword, however, was not my work, though i understand how it was made and look forward to making some of my own - for those who want to give it a go, it started likfe as a Stormhawks toy.

That's fantastic! Well done ^_^ Don't feel shy to post more of your work once it's done Great inspirational pictures for people who are starting out

That's such a cool costume, Quicksilver! I like that the props are all made out of kids toys too, hehe. I can't wait to start making stuff like that. I really am just starting out - bought the obligatory pair of goggles yesterday, lol. So I shall start customising them as soon as I can.

Ooooo goggles ^^

Those props do look amazing, I was in a state of eye-popping-ness for at least 2 minutes when i saw them hehe....I'm deffo gonna have a go myself at making some!!

I'll probably aim to have a steampunk outfit by Alcon.....

I would love to be able to do steampunk for alcon but I know steampunk can be quite expensive in comparason to other cosplays. So shall see how I go with time and money.

On another note i really love this and would love to have ago at making something so beautiful!



Prob wont be able to make the whole thing, might have to get thrifty and find lots of secondhand stuff i can mod.

Wow thats gorgeous!! *want*

With steampunk alot of it seems ot be about the accessories

I know. Im goin to have to brush up on my lame prop making skills. Jeff has offered me a bunch of cogs and watch parts to play with but I need to pin her down long enough to steal them off her ^_^

don't forget a cool metal pole with a nice rusty sheen to it that you can saw into ^_^ haha i will have to bring the stuff down ^^

in progress shot of the Cuttle Fish:

have just bought two very nice (but in need of repair) LARP swords, which have replaced the need for the cuttle fish project

Professor Devious Q. Trollbourne.

Chiropractor.

also, notice the steam driven mallet in the background. one player brought a mallet made out of a flamingo (very alice in wonderland)...

...and get your own Fist-O!! :-)

Don't need to, got that old one you had.

And don't forget the tea-powered mallet!

haha wowwww, love it!

i need to figure out how to get pictures onto here as i am almost finished my gun-turned-drill ^^

My finished prop woop woop ^_^

(Thanks Quicksilver for teaching me how to post piccytures!!! <3)

Looks awesomeeeeee!

thankies, it took me forever and a day to make!

The start of my first Steampunk outfit! Corset from Corsets UK, Shirt from a charity shop, skirt and bustle made by me, first ever bustle made! It needs more Bustle >>







Here are 3 broaches I got from the market



And a future steampunk gun lol

WOW! Shadow, you need to wear this kinda stuff more often, you look great

Hehe tyvm, I will wear it tommorrow i hope! If you take stuff to change into i will too!

:-( I dont have anything to wear tomorrow! It all needs washing. I need to start investing in cosets and such when i next get paid. Looking at the pics of my steampunk outfits, Im really not happy with em. Bring ur stuff along tho so i can still look and we can chat. I'll be goin swimming too at usual time tho

Ohhhhh i forgot about your swimming otherwise I'd have said today to meet up >< whoops

I'll probs go shopping in some charity shops before hand and see what I can pick up

I liked your steampunk! But corsets are always good
