They'll Need a Crane (Steam Hunt, Episode Three)

They'll need a crane...they'll need a crane...to take the house he built for her apart...

That song's been stuck in my head for days now. I've no immediate need for a crane - but if the necessity ever arises, I am prepared...as I've acquired a fine one, thanks to the Steam Hunt stop #47, Bare Bear Discount Store.

Crane, on rooftop, at the ready. To lift my bloated inventory, perhaps?

The crane's platform, inside my rowhouse.

One could imagine said crane has lifted the following too-large-to-rezz-inside gift -- the SteamMonks Coal Barge, Steam #20 -- onto its precarious rooftop position, although I like to think it was hoisted there Disney Style by a flock of songbirds and a few hundred yards of blue satin ribbon.

Or maybe balloons...
Steam #41 - Alice Went Neko - gifted the diverting "Come Fly with Me. Stand on the cog at the string's end...and you're ready to soar gracefully over Babbage rooftops.

If you prefer your flight to be a little less at wind's whim, Steam #23 Morigi Steam provides the Steampunk Ninja Belt.

No idea what noxious properties the purple emissions of the Ninja Belt might contain...so perhaps care should be taken to not fly too closely behind a lady or gent wearing one.

And a general warning: if you see me take to the skies in a Steam Sparrow Flying Hansom, you'd be best served to run inside and stay there until the danger passes. The plane, from Steam #18 Munro Imaginary Motors, comes with a flight trainer..which, as the photo below illustrates, was completely ignored.
Crashed in the courtyard outside Capalini Furnishings...truth be told, this was before the plane even lifted off the ground.


Uprighted, and then promptly flying off-world.


Back in the safety of the rowhouse, where at least no innocent bystanders can be harmed. All clothing on avs also from the steam hunt.


The Builders Brewery gift (Steam #100) was upgraded significantly since my first hunt post. You still get the lovely lamp - actually now you get four of them -- as part of the "Steampunk Victorian Whimsy Cottage."

Two stories, 279 prims by my count.

A house, but one intended to be a photo set, is what you'll get at Steam #7 -- Atomic Owl's Steampunk Scene

There are 20 different click-to-change textures for the window at the left of the scene.
Rivet Town, I presume.


Not terribly steampunky, but the angel does have a nice gothic vibe (like she'd be just as happy guarding over a crypt) in this Steam #40 gift from Huschi Waterfalls.


I suppose there's a quip I should be making about a mermaid in a barrel, but it's slipping my mind, as is most everything else these days. But I digress. This Barrel Hot Tub was found at Steam #83, Prims 4 U, and the mermaid was courtesy of Steam #30(aeNigma, a shop submerged in the Vernian Sea.)



Hot tubbing also provided by Steam #32 (PdCreations) below:

Tat on soaking gentleman is also part of the mer-gift at aeNigma.

In my first hunt post, I showed store displays in Belle Belle Fantasy (Steam #82), but here is their gift:

It's entitled "Undying Love." Don't be surprised if you encounter me wearing this piece as a hat...or maybe a backpack. It's too wonderful to let moulder in my inventory unseen.

This lovely teapot is from Steam #20...

...mantle clock from Steam #60, Quaint & Curious Contraptions...

...the Jules Desk Set (3 prim desk, 8 prim chair, rug) from Steam #59, Crossroads Dreams...

...and the Steampunk Tip Jar from Steampunk Adventures, Steam #28.

Hunters be advised - I believe the Steam Hunt's last day is Sunday (September 20th).

I've still a few boxes left unpacked...and perhaps another post before the gears all disappear.
