Not sure if it's truly classed as Steampunk, but this guy is a legend and I feel that some of you might be able to appreciate him... especially if you're British.

>>	Anonymous 12/01/23(Mon)23:13 No. 1559 >>1558 no no, not suggesting they are Steampunk in the slightest, I just think they are epic and class Steampunk enthusiasts as epic as well... hence, by default, there should be some interest there ;)

So, I'm writing a book based on and around a Steampunk setting but there's one thing nagging at me. The creation of a human clone is central to the plot... no she's not steam powered, but the cloning device is... is this too much of a stretch for a Steampunk setting?

Pic semi-related: It's Dolly the cloned sheep... the one on the left isn't her though. Aren't clones so alike?

So this question isn’t just for steampunks, but for anyone with martial arts experience, or just good ideas, whatever.

Here’s the deal, I’m building a faux martial art style that is based on the use of general steam punkish tools. For example I’ve made some headway using a 1-3/4 (really big) wrench in a sort of Baritsu/ Chinese wrestling club mash up that, though obviously impractical, looks really cool.

Here’s the challenge:
-Should be useable by a small framed person with little muscle mas as well as a heavy set person.
-In the style of Karate it should make use of basic tools but tools that fit the steampunk aesthetic such as wrenches, hammers, ect…
-What kind of background would it have? Honorable/ dishonorable. Gentlemanly or created on the mean cobblestones of Victorian England.
-It doesn’t have to be completely practical, but it should be fun and look cool.

So I'm working on a short film, Post-apocalyptic world, Steampunk Era. Not sure as to how to budget this... I don't have a lot of money... Any ideas for low budget costumes?

I suppose 'kitsch' as an intended style and tongue firmly in cheek is a large part of Steampunk culture, but yea, I meant it in the more demeaning way. But I mean, look at Delicatessen. Film with a filter like that, and it can cover up problems fairly well.

Doe this stuff count?

http://www.cracked.com/article_18424_the-6-most-badass-robots-invented-before-electricity.html

>What we have here is the patent of an android that could pull a cart and run up to a mile a minute. In a top hat. Smoking a pipe. Probably thinking that there was no way anybody could actually build this monstrous ironclad robotic Flash, the clerk at the patent office approved the steampunk monster. And guess what? It worked.

>The robot, which was named Daniel Lambert (that's...that's actually the weirdest part) was dressed like a human so as to "not scare the horses." Because horses will be totally OK with a nearly 8 foot tall iron giant running 5200-feet a minute while pulling a carriage, just as long as it's dressed like a proper gentleman. The people, on the other hand, probably never stopped screaming.

>5200 (feet per minute) = 59.09 miles per hour

>>	Anonymous 11/12/30(Fri)23:14 No. 1524 > a 2-legged robot pulling a cart with 2 wheels I'm betting that cart actually has four wheels, with the others being cut off from the attached photo.

Could be either since we can't see the rest of the image. The patent drawing has the robot using a pipe in its mouth which is absent from the real one it seems. The cart may also be special built too. Otherwise, you could compare it with pictures of 2 and 4 wheeled carts made around that time to see if there's a match.

Regardless, it doesn't change much about this post >>1521 If the cart has 4 wheels then there's no need at all for any balancing on the robot's part as it would essentially be a powered 5th wheel.
