Steampunk Telescope by Mia Kay M3DM

In the cluttered tower of a gnomish artificer, a great brass telescope tracks something across the heavens — something that was not there yesterday.

This steampunk telescope is a beautifully detailed scatter terrain piece that brings mechanical wonder to any tabletop scene. Mounted on an ornate Celtic-patterned base, the sculpt features an articulated armillary-style frame, interlocking cog wheels, and a long refracting telescope barrel angled skyward — every rivet and gear tooth rendered with the obsessive precision you'd expect from a gnomish or dwarven workshop. It sits equally at home in a steampunk city, a wizard's observatory, an artificer's guild hall, or a strange laboratory deep beneath a mountain.

Whether you're dressing a battle map or adding a centrepiece to a display shelf, this piece rewards a close look. The layered gear assembly on the rotating ring and the mechanical crossbar mechanism give it a genuine sense of working complexity — the kind of prop that makes players lean across the table to ask what it does.

Suited to adventurers who:

• Run steampunk, artificer-themed, or gnomish/dwarven campaigns
• Want atmospheric scatter terrain that doubles as a story hook
• Are building display dioramas or collecting themed terrain sets
• Play Eberron, Ravnica, or any setting where arcane technology has a place

Encounter Hook:
The party is hired to retrieve a stolen star chart from a clockwork observatory on the edge of the city. When they arrive, the telescope is slowly rotating on its own — tracking a point in the sky no map has ever recorded. The astronomer who owned it has been missing for three days.

Scaled to 32mm and supplied with a detailed sculpted base. The model with the decorative base comes as a single attached piece; the plain base variant ships detached for easy gluing. Arrives ready for priming and painting, or use it straight from the box — the raw sculpt holds its own on the table as-is. Minor support marks may occasionally be present and are easily cleaned up.
