You really need to google "steampunk star wars" for maximum effect.

I mean, I love it, but why...? And it dawns on me in today's age when so many things are mass produced, miniaturized, compartmentalized, and (I cry) disposable, Steampunk gear and contraptions seem so unique, artful (reflecting each creator's design sense), fixable and fashioned for human use. I do feel in a sincere way, the pendulum of technical aesthetics are swinging from the impersonal boxes of the recent massed produced items, back to a more individualized, artistic expression of the user--or the devices creator--and design uniqueness will be in vogue very soon. It could be a beautiful time for artists, creators/designers, and the technically minded. --Thankfully, many people are just like that already. ;-) Very cool, Les! …You know it’s puzzled me why the steampunk aesthetic has such an appeal.

An archive search for "retro" at makezine.com turned up a few amazing steampunk related projects and links on page 3. Also on the page is a video of a piece by Nemo Gould and pics of some works of French sculptor Stéphane Halleux. Tres cool. http://blog.makezine.com/archive/retro/?p=3 Nice bookplate sketch.
