Title: Lack of Steampunk pictures?
Post by: fergal on 23 August 2011, 04:09:04 PM

I'm just starting work on my Bonnie and Clyde figs and was trying to find some inspiration on the site here, and was surprised by the lack of photos of people showing off their LAM steampunk figures?  Is this true or is my search-fu just weak?

Weeeell it can get a little complicated due to the somewhat redundant nature, in my opinion, of the term "Steampunk."

For starters Victorian SciFi covers a large swath of the same themes, other things which include aspects also thrown under the "Steampunk" banner would be the early days of Pulp and also Fantasy worlds that have technology.

I won't go into my personal disagreements with the term, but there are a great many things on these boards which I personally wouldn't be surprised if others called Steampunk, it's just the people who have posted them here see them in terms of Victoran SciFi, "Tech"-Fantasy, Pulp, Early Weird War and so on.

Also always nice to meet another Fergal.

Viper, I guess Vergal did look for the pics of painted LAM Steam-Punk miniatures :)

Fergal, well, it's not too many pics of painted LAM Steam-Punks out there, though the range is actually quite popular.

On the other hand I have to make some pics of Lt.Hazel Steam-Punk painted minis,  they're waiting since ages for a photo shooting. Will do soon.

Sounds great Prof.  It was specifically the LAM figures I'm after as I've just started to paint Bonnie and Clyde.  I'll post it when I'm done but I'm afraid it won't help anyone as I've copied the paint scheme on the painted one from the store.  I lack imagination. :(

Urgh it appears I failed to understand the post and which part of the forums we are in when I made my reply.

Sorry.
