No wood grain, no choice of color... and everything looks like a "Transformer?" I don't see any thing wrong with Steampunk styiling.

I only have one problem with this one - look at the big rear wheels. The piston shaft is connected to the HUB of the wheel, not on a spoke. (Look at old locomotives.)So when steam pressure moves the piston, the wheel won't turn - it'll just sit there straining. Aside from that, cool idea.

I being a Dr. Who fan from the past, I love it. If you don't like steampunk or goth than whatever! You do what you want. I however enjoy the change to the normal mass market dress and visuals. Some of us are there from the beginning and don't really have to try to understand. I was doing some research on the steampunk themea for a friend's wedding and found this site/picture.

The Daleks are already copper coloured, makeshift looking and covered in metal rivets. That's pretty much the essence of steampunk, so this is just overkill. And I think most of the steampunk ideas are running out now. There's not really much more you CAN do. I think this one is pretty pointless.
