Please comment, this is my first serious steampunk MOC ever and I could use some pointers.

I'm not a great builder, but this is pretty cool to me!
I like how you used the treasure chests in the main structure.
The only thing I would change is to paint the "wheels" gold/bronze to match the other gold piece.
Very nice!

Thanks. Personally, I don't believe in modifying pieces for MOCs. With minifigs, anything goes, MOCs, I consider it cheating to paint, cut, ect. Thanks for the C&C, it's greatly appreciated.

This is a pretty neat little build. I like the shape and colors.
