The Steam Man

[Bezzo]

Would someone with more skills than I possess fancy having a go at modelling one of these chaps? I think it would be quite interesting.





Maybe for the Build Something competition?

Interesting pictures: did the same artist two versions of that concept, or is one a shameless copy?

Anyway, it's a smashing VSF design, and should not be so easy to build. Apart from not having time at all ...

the others being from 1876 and 1879 respectively
"The steam man" seems seems to have been a protagonist in stories from that period, and also the very first concept of a robot
