Matt and I have always enjoyed the Mechanical Easter Island Heads. They were some of the first models I casted once I got the workshop up and running. When Matt saw a line of easter Island heads on the shelf it gave him some inspiration. The next day he showed up with the sketch below - A STEAM BUDDHA!

Dude. That is awesome.  I may have to build David Lo Pan's hideout just for fun now.

Defintely a cool concept, and i think it will go well toward making a Wierd West setting as well, especially with the steam tech walkers.

Need to have a steampunk/airship figure head to go with it. Maybe a Prow Ram with a steamdriven rail gun.

I'm having visions of the steam buddha rising up and rampaging through the streets of dark future like some, well, dark future version of the stay-puft marshmallow man

Logical (?!?) extension of that idea--a "giant" sized steam buddha in a standing/rampaging position. Obviously not very practical, but would be terrifically funny (to me at least).
