Steampunk Movie Camera by Mia Kay M3DM
Regular price
£4.00
Description
In the smog-choked streets of a gnomish city, a brass-and-iron contraption whirs to life — its interlocking gears clicking in perfect rhythm as it captures something that was never meant to be seen.
- ✔ Resin terrain piece, printed fresh to order in the UK
- ✔ Supplied unpainted — primes and paints easily
- ✔ Compatible with standard 28mm–32mm miniature scales
- ✔ Works on the gaming table and as part of a display diorama
This steampunk movie camera is a feast of mechanical detail, sculpted with the kind of obsessive specificity that makes scatter terrain genuinely worth painting. Mounted on a splayed wooden tripod and rising to a decorative round base edged with intricate knotwork, the piece features multiple interlocking gear wheels of varying sizes, a ribbed cylindrical lens housing, riveted plating, exposed cabling, and a chain-drive mechanism that suggests this machine is very much alive — or close enough to cause problems. It reads instantly as an artefact of a world where magic and industry have shaken hands and neither entirely trusts the other.
Whether your campaign is set in a sprawling artificer's metropolis, a gnomish inventor's workshop, or a Ravnica-adjacent city of guilds and secrets, this piece adds a layer of worldbuilding that a blank battle map simply cannot. As a display piece on a collector's shelf, it holds its own alongside any steampunk or dieselpunk diorama.
Perfect for adventurers who:
- Are building steampunk, artificer, or arcane-industrial campaign settings
- Want scatter terrain that tells a story without a word of explanation
- Need a prop for a gnomish inventor's lab, a guild hall, or a shadowy information broker's den
- Enjoy painting intricate mechanical pieces with multiple textures and surfaces
- Collect display-quality steampunk terrain alongside their miniature range
Encounter Hook:
The party has been hired to retrieve a reel of film from a mechanical camera left behind in the ruins of a gnomish broadcast tower. When they find it still running — lens trained on the entrance they just came through — the artificer in the group realises it has been transmitting everything it has seen to an unknown receiver. Someone has been watching them since before they arrived.
Scaled to 32mm. The model with the detailed base comes as a single piece attached to the base. The model with a plain base is supplied with the base detached and can be fixed easily with a small amount of adhesive. Supplied unpainted and ready for priming — the level of surface detail rewards careful drybrushing and wash work.
