Roundup of Rod Gillies’ Steampunk
Rod Gillies is one of my favorite Steampunk builders and lately he has been very prolific. Each of his recent creations deserved to be highlighted but there were so many. Therefore…it’s roundup time!
First up is the Steamflier, belonging to Clyde Vernon Cessna. I’m loving the wings on this one, as well as the upside down rowboat. Sure, that’s been done before, but this they really work together well here.
I’ve always liked those Victorian Penny-farthings, with the giant front wheel. The American Zephyr (built by Davis and Harleyson) is a great take on the old design.
Last in our roundup is the Land Rover, driven here by J.K. Starley. The sheer bulk of this makes me laugh. I love the fenders and those wheels are awesome.

The American Zephyr is an incredible build; I love the use of steering wheels.

The mechanized bike is pure genious. I really need to start getting into Steampunk, it looks like so much fun!

Very nice choice of color on that “land rover”.
