Lots of excellent steampunk costumes to appreciate, just in time for Halloween! I’ve highlighted some of the photos below, be sure to visit Metromix to view all the photos. Also, be sure to watch the video of last year’s steampunk fashion show.
I’m so glad October 31 is finally here! Time to polish the brass gears and tighten the corsets – have a Happy Halloween, Steampunkers!
Last September, I blogged about the steampunk haunted house in Pittsburgh, PA.
Here’s a look at another steampunk haunted house in New York City. Put together by the Third Rail Projects, this haunted house has gathered a lot of media attention and publicity because it’s so incredibly awesome.
MSN has nice photo essay entitled, How to Build a Steampunk Haunted House, and they offer great DIY ideas as well as a nice look into the haunted house by Third Rail Projects.
This would be so fun to go to! If you happen to live in the New York City area, you can purchase tickets online at www.thirdrailprojects.com.
Here’s a great way to add steampunky goodness to your Halloween party. Make a steampunk Jack O’Lantern!
Instructables has a step-by-step tutorial to guide you through the process. There’s a lot more to it than simply stretching a pair of goggles onto the pumpkin.
It’s complete with a fog machine controlled by the ioBridge IO-204 and lit by BlinkM RGB LEDs. The fog shoots out of its ears when motion is detected by a Passive Infrared sensor.
Seriously? Fog shoots out the ears when someone walks by? That is so very, very cool. Great job!
A new browser-based video game should be released any very soon from Muse Games, called Guns of Icarus.
With tagline, “This is not the future I expected,” the player controls a steampunk airship and shoots down other airships and planes while performing missions. Looks pretty fun!
The video trailer says, “Play it Oct. 12″ but it has not yet been released on Muse’s site, which only states “Coming in October.” So I expect this game to be available at any time.
Congratulations to these fine looking steampunk newlyweds! What could be better than a steampunk wedding?
How about this 100% edible steampunk cake? Amazing! What a work of art. And again – the doors, gears, & rivets, EVERYTHING is made of delicious fondant and is entirely edible.
Sigh, this is making my goggles fog up. My steam engine is officially blown.
Captain Harvey D. Winthrop, III has embarked on a perilous quest to explore the inner reaches of darkest Africa. In addition to his expedition’s three main airships, the brave Captain has brought along his Personal Air Conveyance. This compact marvel allows the Captain to explore, reconnoiter and otherwise escape the noisy mass of people and machinery that is a necessary part of such a large campaign.
Powered by a compact little steamer of his own design, and outfitted with enough reserves for three days, the Personal Air Conveyance is a handy tool that has saved Captain Winthrop’s life on more than one occasion.
Wow, what a great job, Aaron. Congratulations on your superb steampunk Lego design!
