Steampunk Reaper

Denizens,
Thought I would post up this Steampunk Reaper I have been working on. It isn't painted yet... I'm nervous I want to do it right. Threw in a little extra eye candy for ya there(The Incubus).

So the parts come from some IG stuff, a bit of Tau, and some other bits from assorted other modelling games. Wanted to get a very like pipes and exhaust feel to it. I cant take complete credit for the model driving the boat even though I did switch some bits out.

Let me know what you guys think. Will paint this hopefully some point in the near future.

That's one dope looking boat. Well done!
Im a sucker for steampunk so if you got some more funky creations, please do me a favor and make a project log.

I'm not 100% sold on the exhausts underneath, but the rest looks excellent!

Thanks for the compliments and constructive criticism... I will work on shoreing the under carriage up. Will keep you guys update on progress.

I thoughy DE would be a bit too sleek for steampunk but it is looking pretty nice. I am guessing it will be going without sails?

I am looking forward to seeing updates on it. Are you going to do a whole DE force in this style or just the experimental reaper?

Thanks...
I feel the same way about some of our units but we have flying boats cmon fits right into the category right .

Soo I was debating whether to do some sails hanging off the side(something like the image below) which would look really cool, but decided, for now, against it. I like the driver's flag because it is right about the same height as the original sail would be for practical LoS purposes(granted its in the back). Do you think they would look sweet? I don't want it to be too busy...

I do not plan on doing a steampunk army. It would be awesome I love the genre but my hobby isn't that stronk nor do I have the bits

You can add even more steampunk with painting!
Like clockwork or just mechanic patterns.
You could also add goggles xD
You know Becky Lynch from WWE?
And maybe use cotton wool for steam.

Anyway, your Reaper looks very promising, looking forward to seeing in finished

Oooo great suggestions thanks!!! Interested to see what that cotton/wool could do.

The driver does have an eyepatch btw looking forward to painting that...
