Meet Captain Winthrop and his Personal Air Conveyance. I love it!
This is an entry for Reasonably Clever’s Steampunk Lego contest. Only 50 Lego pieces were allowed. Incredible work!
From Aaron Wadley, the creator:
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!

Check out the great collection of steampunk pictures over at b3ta.com.
They’re running a Steampunk Challenge, to celebrate Steampunk and the age of Victorian sci-fi, where airships and steam power exist alongside 19th century versions of more modern developments.
A lot of the pictures are rather silly, but some of them are absolutely fantastic!
