Professor T. Lemetry employed copper piping, 4 gauges, a valve wheel and various brass components to modify the hell out of a Nerf Vulcan Blaster, resulting in this steampunk “Goliathon”. Besides earning a spot with other Nerf/Steampunk masterpieces, the professor believes that the Goliathon harnesses “all the horsepower of a full-size steam locomotive” to “level a building, down an airship, or turn a man inside out” – all in one shot.
Although that may be a bit over the top for a toy, it is a truly awesome mod that can be yours for $350. Check out some additional pics after the break.

DeviantART member batman-n-bananas created this steampunk Portal gun using (among other things) parts from an antique clock, hangers, plumbing parts, a plant pot, various lids, plastic tub, a pocket laser disc, lightbulbs, metal covering from an old hairbrush and copious amounts of glue. Somehow he managed to pull all of it together to create the awesomeness you see here.

Holy crap—just look at this gorgeous 3D rendering of a composite bow design by deviantARTist Samouel. It looks like something a steampunk Serah Farron would use.

We’ve seen steampunk NERF guns in the past, but modder vansbangerburger’s rifle is among the best. He managed to slap it together using an old NERF gun and variety of spare parts—including pressure gauges, an old fuse holder from high voltage wiring and some K’NEX gears.

Theory11 teamed up with the American Playing Card company to produce these steampunk playing cards which are printed on custom bronze-effect paper stock and feature illustrations that give off a 19th century Victorian machinery vibe. The cards also carry stamped, debossed elements that cast shadows to create a perspective of depth and weight.

Whatever your costume for Halloween, it’s sure to be improved by these steampunked up trick or treat buckets. DeviantArt user Yamiguru created this tutorial to make it easy for everyone to transform the plastic pumpkin into something more appealing. I haven’t tested this theory, but I bet a cooler looking treat bag gets you more treats.

One of the many benefits of 3D printing technology is beautifully detailed dice. Shapeways user gythawen designed these steampunk themed roleplaying dice. Much like these 3D printed thorn dice, they come in a variety of metals. You can order them in bronze, stainless steel, or glossy silver.
You could actually game with them, but they’re also pretty enough just to leave on display. They’re probably hefty enough to leave a bruise if you decide to chuck them at your GM, too.

If you missed out on the Steampunk “Big Daddy” NERF gun we featured last week, you’ll be happy to know that the seller is now offering a new weapon called “Big Bertha” which began life as a Ruff Stuff Air Blaster Tommy 20.
The look was provided using an old chair, and the firing mechanism under the riveted exterior can fire up to 20 suction-cup darts in under 40 seconds. There’s only one available, so if you have an extra $380 lying around you may want to head ofver to Etsy before its gone.

Before faustus70 came along, this was simply a NERF N-Strike Barricade gun. But artistically add some planks cut from an antique wooden chair, and wrap it with hand-cut aluminum, and you have the badass weapon seen here. Big Daddy’s magazine holds 10 NERF whistler darts, which are fired with the assistance of 3 AA batteries. It also has a scope that offers 3x magnification. The best part is that you can actually buy it on Etsy for $300.
