Is this going to be a steampunk-esque mono-wheel, like the one in the new Men in Black film?

I didn't watch MIB, but I will check it out! :)

Cool project I am working on an O?T scratch-built Monitor type iron clad.Not steam punk per se but in the area! 001-8.jpg

Nice! Do you have a post of it, I would like to follow your progress.

That burner is cool. I just finally got into steam punk stuff then I realized that now there's a diesel punk to? I have a steam punk build coming up soon . I tore apart a old garden tractor moter that blew an came up with som interesting little gears an bearings to slap some thing together . I like how your project is comming together. Good luck.

Thank you! It is been a while since I follow the steampunk thing, I like the concept all those weird machine, vehicle, but I'm not 100% into, so I will never dress up or thing so. I prefer the steam punk than the diesel punk, because I think it is more interesting, kind the original one.

I think for us, model builder it is fun to build something "different"!

Cool project on your tractor, looking forward to see a post here.

About weird machine look a this:

Something like some of the gizmos that were in the movie " Wild, Wild West ?

Kind of, but mine has only a wheel, this because of the "economy"... :D

Cool!

Thank you!

Saw the word STEAMPUNK and it got my attention. I'm curious to see more of where this one is headed.

Glad you see it, so you can tell me if I'm doing something wrong with it. :)

Speaking of steampunk i found this little gem in one of my parts bins! 002-7.jpg

Finally I put my hand on the wheel... The bend pins is only for make it easy to handle.

Is the tire an "o" ring ?

No, I didn't though about a O-ring, I should have! :) The inner part is a piece of paper, and the outside part is made by three wires, one bigger in the center and two small on the side.

Some more progress... The wheel is done, at least for now, for sure I will add more parts to it, but I need to wait to install burner cylinder and tank.
