Although I do agree that all of the shooting games and extremely gory video games are usually crap and do not promote imagination in any way, I love building airships and other contraptions on the popular PC game ¨Minecraft¨. It promotes creativity and imagination while being fun and looking awesome with the Steampunk texture pack downloaded. Anyway... good job!

I believe that 90% (maybe 95%) of all games are not worth playing but I don't think it is related to shooting or gore, there are plenty of cartoon games that are horrible as well. There really isn't any type of game that is immune to bad writing. But for the record my tastes confuse most people. A couple years ago I went to see Ponyo, a G rated japanese children's cartoon, and District 9, an ultra violent sci-fi movie on the same day and equally enjoyed them both. |

Ok lets see if I can get this to work: Ladies, Gentlemen Etc may I present one of my efforts at Steampunk Miniature painting:  This was one of my entries in the Salute 2012 painting competition and was a finalist in its category. Having said that it was in the same category as the figure that took Best of Show so I'm not too disappointed. What I am disappointed about is how long it took me to correctly spell Fugitives. These are 28mm tall miniatures from the American Company Reaper Miniatures mounted on a self constructed base. |

I had a closer look at the photobucket original and the shading and highlighting is excellent - you have every right to be pleased! Thank you for posting. |

I haven't sussed it yet, so usually just tell people to right click and hit view image for the full size version. |

Yes, I haven't worked out a simple method yet, my right click does not give a view image option. So I click 'Quote', copy and paste the url into a new browser window which takes me to the original page and sometimes - as in photobucket, there may be an option for a larger image. |

Oh dear, I assumed the right click thing was standard. I must confess I do post an awfully large amount of pictures, so should probably try and figure it out really.

...and, of course, Isambard Kickass Brunel. Needs a cigar, and the hat needs to be taller. Other than that, IKB and the others are absolutely top-notch! That looks like a cigar right there, and his hat is quite tall enough. I ordered some of the heads, by the way. My Imperial Guard is in the process of becoming Praetorian veterans. Mostly like late Boer War British, if the Boer War had poison gas. On another note, Col. Gravis's Praetorians are top notch. Zulu war... IN SPACE! Funny, my friend did the same with his for a doubles tournament. I believe he began ordering cart wheels too to make his heavy bolters look more like traditional cannons. |

Just came back from Kublacon where I got to run the VSF game I have been working on for about a year. We used a new set of rules called Empire of the Dead from Westwind productions which I highly reccomend. Some pictures: A full report is on my website: http://rotanddrivel.com/kubla2012.htmlCheers, Mike |

Very nice work Mike. A great looking game and particularly nice to see Lead Adventure minis in play. I might have to get that diver for my space project.
The omnibus is a stroke of genius and the finished result looks great. Do I detect an Ironclad steam tank as the basis for the model?

The omnibus is most definitely an Ironclad at heart. The divers are very nice and he has two versions. Each with an assistant as well.

The legendarily loose-fitting description of 'What is Steampunk' is beginning to show some strain at the seams with that one, I feel. |
