Although I am looking forward to reading the Gold Compass trilogy (His Dark Materials), outside of the Steampunk aesthetic with all of its wonderful contraptions, I was a little let down by the rendition of the text. I also felt that the story had very little plot and the acting was dreadful.
Horseless Hansom Cab
I am not sure what propels this vehicle in this alternative universe, as you see is doesn’t seem to be steam.
Golden Compass (alethiometer)
Move the two hands to an appropriate position and right person can tell the future. Interesting contraption.
Clockwork Spy Wasps
These clockwork devices are kind of like hound dogs. Put them on the trail of someone and they will fly towards the ends of the earth until the person is found.
Dirigibles
There are two dirigibles featured within. The first, a very elegant designed dirigible owned by a very elegant lady (Kidman). The second a more practical design powered by hydrogen. Can’t say whether the other was thus powered, however this one was disassembled, transported by ship and carried to location and reassembled.
Steam Paddled Ship
I have include a couple images of this ship. She has such nice lines. This ship was one of few low-tech items featured in the movie or is she?
Elegant Launch
