Toy Modder Extraordinaire Steampunks Return of the Jedi

Some of you may be suffering from Steampunk fatigue, but I still get giddy when I see it done up right. Master toy modder Sillof, whose work we've covered a couple times before, has tickled my fancy with an update to his original Steam Wars action figure line. This time you've got even more detailed Steamtroopers, a mob boss-like Jabba the Hutt, vicious Ewoks and (for the boys) Steampunk Slave Leia. Check out the gallery, and his website. [Sillof] More »

Steampunk LEGO Jabba Barge, Slave I and Other Amazing Steam Wars Models

LEGO may have the most amazing sets ever, but the fans keep leaving me speechless at every turn, specially the Steam Wars contest which is now closing. We already showed you the Steam Speeder, the Pod Racer and the TIE Fighter and X-Wing, and here you have an extremely detailed Steam Jabba Barge and Slave I. Those are my favorites, but the AT-sTEam, General Greeves Wheel Bike and the ARC-17 Steamfighter are also quite impressive, as you will see in the big galleries after the jump. More »

Steampunk LEGO Steam Speeder Spurs Swooning Sensations

The Steam Wars contest keeps exciting us with new concepts after amazing examples like the TIE Fighter and X-Wing, the Pod Racer and the Imperial Shuttle. Here's the Steam-Powered Speedy Bicycle, which promises to be "the Empire's Finest." In its simplicity, it's probably my favorite so far. Someone should get Lucas and LEGO to do a game with all these Steam Wars vehicles. Or better yet, a full movie. [Flickr via Brothers Brick]

LEGO Contest Picks Up Steam, Pod Racer, London Imperial Shuttle and Jeff Vader

Some of you asked for it when we showed you the LEGO Steampunk Tie Fighter and here it is: a LEGO Steampunk Pod Racer, the Darling Apollo IV driven by Trenton Telgaard. Whoever that is. It's also part of the LEGO Steam Wars contest, like the brilliant London Imperial Shuttle after the jump (right next to a hilarious LEGO animation set to Eddie Izzard's monologue on Darth Vader's at the Death Star's cafeteria. A must for a Monday morning.) More »

Steampunk LEGO TIE Fighter Beats the Crap Out of X-Wing, Shows Amazing Vision of Star Wars Universe

This TIE Fighter, and the X-Wing after the jump, is what happens when you put together Star Wars, LEGO and steampunk in the title of a contest. That and a collective geekgasm. Truth is, as fun as the official Star Wars LEGO models are, home-made models like this steampunk TIE Fighter have a charm that the former can't achieve. The most amazing thing, however, is the source of inspiration for some of these:
