Steampunk Photo Reference.

This felt a bit like being in a Piranesi drawing.

The old iron still supports tons of rail traffic every day.

Here are some pictures that I took of an ironwork rail trestle in my hometown of Indianapolis Indiana. I love old ironwork with its graceful yet powerful use of iron and rivets.

I hope this gives some suitable steampunk inspiration to your terrain or art projects.

Fantasy Modeling #5

It's been a long while since I've posted a new issue of Fantasy Modeling but here it is! This is issue features some great stuff including a brilliant article by Rick Overton about kitbashing Victorian Spaceships that was truly steampunk way before there was such a word. This whole issue is a treasure trove of hobby goodness. Check it out!
