AFOLs and Star Wars fans gathered around FBTD portal have their Steam Wars contest held this month. Let’s take a look at some of the amazing models presented there.

The idea of contest is to build a steampunk version of the vehicles known from Star Wars. Steampunk is an alternate future where coal and steam is a main technology, instead of electricity.
First model, by Rebel Rock is of course a steampunk TIE Fighter:

Chris Doyle prepared an alternative version of Millennium Falcon:

Head over to Chris website, he published there all details of the model, including the video.
Linus Bohman submitted completely crazy version of a pod racer:

These strange engine covers are made frol MEGO tyres, put inside-out.
One of mose recognizable SW vehicles is imperial shuttle. Here is how it looks in steampunk version designed by thwaak:

I very much like the fact that despite all the changes, the shuttle is still elegant and noble, like the original. And the wings lift up as well.
Also old good Y-Wing have it’s steam version, build by Larry-Lars:

The contest is still on, so we may expect more fantastic entries.
