I blogged Izzo’s ninja mecha a few days ago, but he’s continued posting new mecha since then. Here’s the latest, a steampunk mecha titled “Tin Machine,” driven by none other than the Adventurers theme’s archvillain, Sam Sinister:

Lukas’ Steampunk Dragster
Lukas, whose “Jade Empire” minifigs I featured earlier today, has also posted a steampunk dragster:
This kind of reminds me of Bekr’s “Smoke Signal” (which I blogged a few months ago). I think Bekr’s vehicle has better detailing (called “greebling” by us LEGO geeks), but it’s nice to see more builders creating steampunk stuff, and I like the minifigs Lukas uses.
Lord Sinister’s Half Track by Mark Stafford
In addition to his creations inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, Mark Stafford’s Adventurers folder includes several cool vehicles. Here’s a new one, a half-track for Sam “Lord” Sinister:

More Lovecraftian LEGO from Mark Stafford
Mark Stafford continues adding new creations to his ongoing mashup of the LEGO Adventurers theme and the Cthulhu mythos from H.P. Lovecraft’s science fiction. A recent update includes “Offspring of Shudde M’ell“:
Steampunk Time Machine
Andrew Horvatits has been posting work-in-progress pictures of a cool little steampunk time machine, and now he seems to have posted the final version:
Very nice. Worthy of the esteemed Mr. Wells himself.
Delicious Steampunkery Goodness
Today’s batch of folder updates on Brickshelf included three steampunkish vehicles — one by Octopunk (of Jeff & Jeff’s Pandemonium), one by smartiac, and another by new Brickshelf user serenity.
First up, Octopunk’s zeppelin, the Louisa May Alcott:
Next, smartiac’s tank:
And serenity’s TimeShip:

Chocobo Warrior by Andrew Horvatits
Andrew Horvatits just posted a wonderful Chocobo warrior (based on this design by Kevin Heckel, aka Jonesy over at Golden Shpleem):
I might’ve chosen a different minifig (let’s say something like one of these), but the color scheme on the Chocobo is great — especially the black levers as claws on the yellow feet. Good photography is also a huge plus.
Mike Psiaki’s Airship
I’m not sure whether this is an update or not, but Mike Psiaki has posted a most excellent airship:

Jamie Neufeld’s Steam Man and Other Steampunkery
I’ve enjoyed Jamie Neufeld’s minifig creations for some time, and I’m pleased to see that he’s still creating new characters:
Be sure to check out his other steampunk LEGO creations, including a steam-powered boat and giant wheel:
Felix Really is Great!
I’ve always been drawn to anachronism in LEGO creations. I used to create complicated laser emplacement weapons for my Forestmen to fend off my brother’s Black Falcons. That’s why my next MOC will likely be something steampunk-ish. But enough about me.
Brickshelf user felixisgr8 just posted a really cool airship that uses boat pieces in an interesting way:
