Usually in the 19th century and often Victorian era in England. I did not have a clue what it meant until I read it in the Jan/Feb LC&SJ. There is an article about a "Steampunk gun rig".

And I really enjoyed the new Sherlock Holmes. DO we have any makers playing with this theme? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTcustom Report post Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) I was really intrigued by this. And I really enjoyed the new Sherlock Holmes. DO we have any makers playing with this theme? I may dabble a little in it... Mr Tom Banwell however is the preeminent master of things steampunk. Edited January 17, 2010 by TTcustom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
