What's better than an actual dragon? Not much I would warrant. But what would you say about the Pure Steam RPG alternative, a bit Steampunk Dragon?
Now sadly I don't imagine this will ever see the light of day as a proper model since its for an RPG but it will of course inspire some interesting fight scenes I bet.
Do you like this Steampunk artwork?

Spectre Miniatures Reveal Limited Remembrance Diorama
Reaper are already making a steam dragon model that looks even more detailed than that. I’m eager to see that one hit shelves.
Sounds interesting
Ooh and looks promising!

I’ll see your concept art and raise you a prototype cast.

you win! lol
I kind of wish that the Reaper and Pure Steam dragons were not quite so literal in the interpretation. My preference would be for something a bit more Heath-Robinson.
Would love pistons, pipes and boilers assembled in a more eccentric way.
Would possibly be a nightmare to cast lol
I like the idea of it being more of a construct than a ramshackle golem. The symmetry of a construct implies a more graceful and predatory feel.The reaper sculpt would be more frightening flying overhead snatching up wagons, horses or companions, but a crazy random steam beast would be more frightening in a tight dungeon.
I like that the aesthetic you describe, but have understood what made me think of an alternative.
Looking again at the artwork and WIP I realised that the torsos and limbs are too equine.
Would be better to have a more sinuous body to match the neck and tail with reptilian limbs.
The wyrm like form would be even better imho
Sorry, am being too picky as per! lol
