However the Toenjes Firefighting Apparatus artical is a bit confusing. You say it features a large reservoir of compressed water, but as it is not really possible to compress a liquid, would it not be more likely that it used compressed gas to displace the water, thus allowing it's impressive preformance. Also Karl Benz, the inventor of the automobile, was granted patent for it in 1886, the "Motorwagen" being built in 1885. Assuming Toenjas' family bought their's when it was first on sale in 1888 and he dismantled it straight away when he was seven, he would be -3 when he joined the Fire Department. Of course as this is steampunk I may be wrong about the car. I don't think the properties of water should be different though.
more than words can describe but like all great things they always have room for upgrades like add some grays silvers and golds to the site background and text that would be awsome but overall love the site thx feel free to email me to share ideas and building tips P.S.but always have the subject for the message be steamlegos so i know its you and not a scam/virus
Left a reaction on the Beyond the Brick, youtube stream of your steampunk battleship. Hope you can use anything from it and if not, thats fine, everybody has a different way to go about things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR3Dqm3W_nU
I go as Rydan on Bricklink & currently am all virtual with the builds. Still trying to figure out how to create my little sail ship it's front hull section, only then I can go for the masts & sails. Maybe the back underside gives you some idea's, maybe not. But you might be able to look at my mortar idea, atleast, would love to see the steampunk version of it. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/public_gallery.page?idUser=1281396
Say, you think a steampunk version of a paddle wheel driven ship, would impliment a tank it's catapiller track system? And how would you name such a thing? Caterpiller Paddle or so?
Kinda wondering how odd things could go, with that. Love how you used those tracks to give those route wheels have that extra bit of mass. Looks good and those mini-subs, what a inventive way to use those wooden (bath) tubes/baskets.
Anyway, happy building and may the brick be with you.

Good point on the physical properties of liquids my good man. The offending article has been amended.
