Maybe you could make the chimney more steampunk by cutting some triangles out of the top edge to make it look like a kind of king's crown as they had on really old steam locos?
You could use a joule thief and battery inside to put a light in the eye or gun.

Just a minor comment, for an extremely awesome project! It looks like you added all of your pictures at once when you created the Intro step. You might want to remove all but maybe the first and last from the Intro, just to reduce the clutter. They will still be on the steps where you've placed them; you just won't have the long string of pictures at the beginning.
