   Posted by: manny

Wow, my mind is officially blown. Check out these incredible steampunk helmets made by Brian Rood.

The helmet was created for the TK Project, a charity event the 501st Stormtooper Legion is holding for the Make A Wish Foundation.

These are probably the cooolest helmets I’ve ever seen. Amazing work!

We’ve posted Star Wars steampunk photos before, but I haven’t seen the stormtrooper or Iron Man helmet before.

Abney Park Makes Gorgeous Steampunk Music

   Posted by: manny

I cannot stop watching this video! It’s a remastered recording of a live show performed by Abney Park, the famous steampunk musicians. The title of this song is Sleep Isabella.

Watching the two girls spin around and around did make me a little dizzy, lol. But I’m blown away by the sound, the fashion, the gadgets and lights, the dancing — it’s all so incredible. What a show!

Have a Happy Steampunk St. Patrick’s Day!

   Posted by: manny

The League of STEAM put together this funny short steampunk video for St. Patrick’s Day. They travel to Ireland and try to catch a leprechaun. Naturally, they get more than they bargained for, and hilarity ensues.

I just love all of the gadgets and props, very fun stuff!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

What a cool steampunk dog costume! This is probably my favorite photo to come out of the Nova Albion Steampunk Exhibition, which took place last weekend in Emeryville, California.

What a patient pup, to put up with those goggles. Very cool!

Steampunk enthusiast, Sangdrax, just posted a video of his monocle project. Very cool, such amazing details. Plus, the gears are battery powered, how cool is that?

He’s putting these together for an upcoming con. Great work. Man, I want one!

Coming Soon: Steampunk Costume Kits!

   Posted by: manny

steampunk-kit-womensteampunk-kit-men

Well, this is interesting: Commercial steampunk costume kits! Looks like the mainstream is catching up with the steampunk sub-culture. Costume Craze has added these kits to their online catalog.

The men’s costume includes the bowler style hat, monocle and Victorian style mustache, and the ladies kit includes the small Victorian style hat, glasses and choker.

Not bad for a quick and easy costume! I have a feeling these kits will sell quite well this year.

How to Make a Steampunk Segway (Legway)

   Posted by: manny

steampunk-segway-legway

Wouldn’t you like to take a ride on this steampunk Segway? Heh, this is really cool!

This steampunk “Legway” was made by bdring, who posted a nice tutorial on Instructables.com.

A self balancing, human powered, steampunk styled, Segway. All you need is a brave self balancing human. This is the ultimate green vehicle for all you eco conscious steampunkers. Is that an oxymoron? I made this out of mostly found materials. This was my first steampunk styled build.

This is very, very classy. Well done!

   Posted by: manny

Here’s a funny video brought to you by the League of Steam. There’s just something special about Zombie’s tea, lol.

This is a wonderfully entertaining steampunk webseries that everyone should check out. I love their costumes, and the production quality of their videos is superb.

These guys are pure genious!
