Here is an entry I had to a contest a few weeks ago, enjoy!
The world has suffered a catastrophe when Robots have taken over the world, the world is now a baron place and the new technology that reigns are steam power and crude electricity. GI Joe has been destroyed and now Cobra is the only force able to battle the robots!
First we have Steam Punk/Post apocalyptic Baroness with a steam powered portable tesla coil weapon.
Parts: Head is modified ROC Baroness with modified goggles of snowjob. The body and limbs are ROC PP Baroness. The Tesla pack is a jetpack with a modified mine detector from tripwire. The coil was made of a stripped piece of twisty tie. Her coat was painted brown and then covered in a black wash to bring out the folds. The Tesla coil pack had 3 layers, the base coat was a brownish red mix to look like rust, then dry brushed with silver which gave it a sort of scratchy look to it which I really liked as it made it look old and used in a rough environment, and then last coat is a black wash to bring out that scratchy look. Her rifle is painted brown on some parts to simulate wood, and then silver and that rust color on various parts as metal highlights.
Second we have a Tesla Tank, which is steampowered as well. The wheels are from a POC HISS and the cannon is from a POC mech arm. The controls are from Scrap Irons missile launchers and true to GI Joe doctrine in cockpits, the cockpit is elevated and the driver totally exposed to enemy fire. The driver is a HISS driver head on a Armored CC body. I used copper and black paint mainly on these, and put a black wash on top to highlight the nice sculpting. The cannon was attached using epoxy putty. And the piping are straws attached with putty and glue. I dry brushed black onto the tip of the cannon to simulate burning from firing the Tesla Cannon.
Overall the Baroness took 2 nights, and the HISS tank took about a week, painting the tank was surprisingly difficult by hand.
