Apparently... there are already companies making butt and hip padded underwear so women can look more curvy. And one I saw which has 'pouch pads' on their boxers.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

People have been faking their proportions forever. It's part of the human condition. Cod pieces weren't JUST to keep fabric away from syphilis afflicted junk, you know.

>>1656
Jeez, that sounds... scratchy. Ew.

Tbh the only thing I know about codpieces is that Henry VIII's was so large that there was (is?) a trend for women to stick a pin in it when it was on display in order to have luck in conceiving a child.

Really boiler explosions anywhere is bad. But yea, silly idea.

I guess a penny farthing might suit. Or a Brompton, there's considerable overlap in the fashion of the Brompton crowd and steampunks...

>>1638
rollerblade explosions?
to move 150lbs at 10mph how much machinery is needed? or 20?

>>1639
Rollerblades?! Have you never seen videos of kids with fireworks stuck to their rollerskates...

Seriously though, I don't know the calculations. Remember you have to take into account the mass of the mechanism itself and any fueld, too.

What's your goal, actually? A model? A functional miniature version? A working man-carrying airship?

Assuming this is a joke thread.

>>1632
any would be great

any smartpersons know the minimum envelope size to lift an adult?

"Arcanum", an old quest about technology vs. magic, was perfect.

>>1621
That was an isometric RPG, yea? It was pretty fun.

its a WIP, but it looks p promising

Damn straight. I'm enjoying the current series a lot :)

I could never get into Last Exile, and 'Range' Murata's character designs have always seemed pretty when static, but oddly flat and dead looking when animated. I had heard reports that the lastest series had all but devolved into lame fanservice though? I've not really followed it.

I rewatched it recently, and the first few episodes did seem worse. 'Flatter' sounds about right. After all the characters are introduced the style gets better

I... saw nothing that could qualify as fan service. It was much more political which I thought was cool. They did a great job at making sure no one could be labeled as 'evil' lol. Everyone had good intentions; kind of like irl I would think

So a magical uranium powered Victorian era pistol is not considered a real weapon? Well, its great that they cleared that up but where's the health warning about it giving you cancer of the pooper from prolonged exposure?

>>1614
It's a con. No real uranium is actually included.

>>1615
To be fair, irradiated body cavities probably belong over in /apoc/ anyway.

>>1507
Oddly enough you only made his point about steam santa more valid.

-Let's remove that Bieber from his music video
-Let's replace that Beiber song with more steampunkish crap

Ok, that was honestly pretty good!

>>1586
That's not steampunk. That's right out of The Fifth Element...

>>17
This is so incredibly awesome that I had to go find a bigger version.

>>12
Steam cranes will forever remind me of the movie, "The Quest (1986)," and the uneasy feelings it gave me when I was 8 at the time.

The donkajin gonna get you...

>>1566
Yeah yeah, I know... but I kind of like the blurry way that pic came out for some reason. Plus I was pretty drunk when I took it anyway.

I have some cymbal stands I'm not using, I was thinking of trying to mount my camera on one of them somehow. The ride stand in particular is quite versatile and allows easy rotation on all three axes. It's a little heavy to lug around though. But I just looked it up and tripods are cheaper than I'd thought so maybe I'll scratch that project.

>>1567
your little fuji point and shoot could sit on a $15 plastic tripod no problem.

>>1568
That old fuji is dead now anyway. My stupid cat knocked it onto the hardwood floor from the top of my dresser and it was a write off. It was nearly ten years old anyway. He also pushed a fancy laser thermometer into the dog's water dish, also a write off. Quite a path of destruction he's carved, for such a little creature.
