Like some have noticed the proportions are a bit off.
I suggest you write down what colours you want use and keep them concise.
I suggest using a primry colour, a secondary perhaps a tertiary and a highlighting colour that will be used in small amounts to add flair to the moc’s colours.

Nice concept, have seen quite a few steampunk classy man mocs. Wish you luck with moccing

No, it was inspired. Most notably in the big hands and small head

Yeeeeeeeeah, I’m not a fan of this MOC. The top hat, torso and hands are pretty good, but the rest is questionable at best.

The biggest issue this MOC has are the limbs. The arms are ridiculously skinny. I understand the concept behind it, but it matches nothing else on the MOC. The legs…oh gosh the legs. Let me put this in a nice way: They are bad. I understand your “abnormally long legs” aesthetic that you’re going for. But it doesn’t work when the legs are jointed in more places than I can count. The proportions (especially the…ankles? lower knees? the part with the Komau’s) are completely out of whack, and look disgusting. Those gears on his upper legs look awkward and unnecessary. WHY DOES HE HAVE FISTS ON HIS KNEES.

Overall, I’d give this a 3.5/10. You need shorten the legs and either bulk up the arms, or make the legs have the same piston aesthetic.

what slime said.

to me this comes across less “steampunk” and more “junkheap”.

Edit: clearly someone took my post as an insult by use of the word “junkheap”, that was in reference to the mocs aesthetics.
I’m sorry, but it looks more like a junkion than steampunk to me, there are random parts everywhere and it looks salvaged.

perhaps I should have been more explanatory, for that I apologize.
no offense was intended.

So, if I’m going to be openly honest, I’m not a huge fan of this MOC. The “Gentlemen Steampunk” theme has been done to death in the past. That being said, this doesn’t really bring much new to the table in terms of originality or aesthetics in my opinion. I feel like the limbs are too long/lanky, and the color placement is lackadaisical at best. The mix of System and CCBS and G1 really just makes this more cluttered than it needs to be. I get the idea behind a Steampunk build, but this just doesn’t do it for me.

If I had to rate, I’d give this a 3/10. Not a huge fan, sorry. Best of luck with your other/future MOCs though ^^

I like this moc.
It has a cool hat and good colours.

I never knew that was a theme. I’ve always associated pipes and scrape with steam punk. thanks for clarifying it and for this new knowledge on this type of theme. Sorry for my error of misreading it.
