1) Gears should always actuate something. It doesn't have to be important, but they are an engineering marvel and should be treated with enough respect to be allowed to serve a purpose. Chant with me: "Actuate, not accentuate."
2) Brassy is beautiful, but there are other metals at your local craft market. Most of them are even shiny. Embrace them.
3) Even in the 1880's, not all leather was brown, and not all garments were wool. If we're accepting phlogiston ray guns, we are allowed cotton and leather dye choices.
4) Airships. Seriously, doesn't this make anyone else's brain twitch to see these giant hulls with envelopes of equal or lesser size? Relative mass, people. If it is a dirigible, and you feel the need to to have a mock up made, think about the mass you're lifting for a minute, for me. Please?
I know ultimately none of this matters a tinker's tuppence, my opinion included, but thank you for taking a moment to let me vent.
