Here’s my survey of some of the various quality steampunk
Personal street transport:
The classic early Victorian mode of personal transportation, the Penny Farthing by Traveler…
Something that could look home-brew steam powered (add a steam boiler and a retexture), is Oskarsson’s Steampunk Transport1…
And at the top of the range in road transport is the Steampunk Coach…
There’s also a nice SteamPunk Mechanica II Monocycle.
Those in need of an early car should look at the Steampunk Carriage.
Airships:
A pretty good work-horse of the air is 1971s’s Vacuum Zeppelin for Poser…
Also look at this excellent free airship from Adm on Archive 3D. Like most Archive 3D models, the textures are missing and you will have to retexture by hand…
If you want a leviathan-class airship, Meshbox’s Clockwork Steampunk Zeppelin 1888 should fit the bill. It also has its own Docking Towers…
The Steampunk Cathederal for Poser also has an airship docking tower. This one looks best in Poser, and even then may need some texturing.
Hot-air balloons:
There are many conventional balloon models. But this delightful steampunk hot-air balloon is something special, with a flag texture and brass bathysphere-type basket…
Going underground, not into the air? Try this Meshbox Clockwork Steampunk Digger…
Going underwater? Try this free one-person submarine, Senya’s Submarine for Poser…
Or try 1971s’s Steam Fish for Poser…
Also look at the excellent and authentic free Turtle, although you will need to convert it from Sketchup…
For something more Nemo-esque there’s also a very nice Meshbox Submarine, although it’s only available as a freebie if you buy the whole of the Meshbox Clockwork Vol.1 series…
The best of the free 3D Warehouse steampunk models are all collected in this comprehensive collection.
Another installment of the Steampunk Survey, soon!
