So,

The person i've been teaching to play wants to paint thier germans more steampunk. I kinda like the idea..alot of brass and copper, with darker leather looks, and brass bottons and rivits.

Has anyone else looked at them this way?

You mean like the ones in the ´League of extraordinary gentleman´ movie? Sounds interesting, I think.

Yeah, go for lots of brass and copper. Look to Warmachine/Iron Kingdoms and their steam-robots for inspiration.

Also you can checkout the mini table top game Dystopian Wars for some steampunk examples.. If you think more of a World War I having never ended it might help generate some ideas. There is also a computer game called "Gettysburg: Armored Warfare" that is a steampunk version of the American Civil War. I hope that helps.
