Inventor's Guild machines

[Springheel]

If we do go ahead and make some more automatons for the inventor's guild, here are some good reference pics.

 

Add some legs and a head (optional) to this:

 

Or this:

 

I don't like the leg design, but I love the canon, and if we did anything humanoid, I'd use this for inspiration:

 

Great inspiration for the exposed gear/piston look:

this really has nothing to do with machines. But deffinately has come cool 'lab items', I just came across it so I figured I'd post before I forgot

hotlink didn't seem to work.

 

like the little detailed stand for the viles on the left. the basic one on the right would also be good.

We need an inspiration thread, i see cool pictures like that all the time.

At one point we did have a 'models required' thread with alot of good pics, but most of that stuff was finished up...

 

And we do have a good city reference pics thread. But yeah, one for models and whatnot would be great too. I rarely stumble across stuff though unless I'm looking for a specific item to model.
