Models

I don't know if you need a Da Vinci styled, somewhat gliding, boat but I stumbled upon one. It's for Poser.

With an elf archer on top. Not Steampunk. That, my friend, is FANTASY. Made me think of MtG, D&D and Vingilot in a couple seconds. As well as Xcalibur for some reason.

P.S. be careful with that site, might be virus'd.

The model is obviously independent of the elf on the preview.

Give the wings a textile texture rather than wood and you've got a somewhat relevant late 17th/early 18th sci-fi flying machine.

I mean, Gusmao's Passarola airship (1709) wasn't that fly-worthy either.

As for its relevance to a steampunk mod, it depends on how far back the team is willing to start with its starting units. At worse, it might inspire someone to start a prequel. ;-)

PS: Why would the site contain a virus ?

And with metal textures it would fit in with later developments.

There are certainly various other types of flying craft beyond steam-powered. If Cavorite can be used to reach the Moon & and Barsoomian fliers use some mysterious energy source along with sails then this vehicle is equally justifiable. There are plenty of unexplored possibilities for non-European steampunk units. With a brass / gold texture could easily see it as a vimana. If nothing else using it as the gondola for a balloon would make an interesting unit. Thanks for the suggestion.


And now we've got a thread where people can post links to other models. Maybe some enterprising unit maker will take up the challenge(s).

Seriously, that site gets me a virus alert every time I open it.

Didn't get anything and I download two archives from the website. I'll make a full sweep just in case.

That's why I kept a general title. Feel free to modify it to something more eye-catchy, though.

not much that's more eye-catching than models.

Found a nice retro-future gun :

Nice thread! Please keep posting more models.

Found some pics of Claudia Schiffer…

A mobile mast for airship.



Another airship.

I don't remember if Tom got the chance to do all the Barsoom beasts, but there are two Poser models at Daz3D, not free I'm afraid.

If someone found a stash of gold recently and don't have anything better to do with it than buying 3D models, there are available here :
Martian Steed for 23$
Martian Hound for 20$
Bundle of both for 37$

I don't report not-free models but these are quite on the spot.

I don't have the ability to buy online, but I'd be happy to send cash to the buyer, as long as I don't have to pony up the entire amount.

BTW, this image of the Thoat is truest to the descriptions of it in the books:

From A Princess of Mars:

..it was entirely devoid of hair, but was of a dark slate color and exceeding smooth and glossy. Its belly was white, and its legs shaded from the slate of its shoulders and hips to a vivid yellow at the feet. The feet themselves were heavily padded and nailless, which fact had also contributed to the noiselessness of their approach..​

​

The thoat in the picture is a Great Thoat, which is ridden mostly by Tharks & stands 10' at the shoulders. Regular thoats (those normally ridden by humans) are shorter, with a normal height of only 6 feet.

I also have a model to contribute to this thread - the Time Machine (1960 movie version), which comes from a confidential source:

If anyone wants to get really ambitious, we would love to have a 'space race victory' movie, featuring this Time Machine, for the Lost Worlds scenario.

Spoiler :

Civil War Fantastique #1 and #2

Spoiler :

Spiritus Incarcerus, a scientist ?

 

[Blue Monkey]

That walker would be a great addition.

At the same site, I found a wonderful Victorian Baby Carriage, and a Steampunk Ornithopter that looks fun too.

Sir Roxely Knight by David D'Champ.

 

[Supa]

Real Leonardo Da Vinci stuff

 

[Supa]

Flight of Fantasy by David D'Champ.

Now, that's quite a selection of steampunk flying machine you've got there. Don't know if you needed them, though. ^^

My first thought: "What if Sergei Eisenstein filmed Lone Wolf And Cub?"

Either the imagination is warped beyond repair or it's time to start writing a Pynchon-style steampunk novel.


@ Supa - every link to something interesting is needed.
