New Website Smell

Wife just redesigned the website to better view on tablets and phone (plus update all of the cool new things I created). Check it out here. (Also-will have the new Sun Mask out soon).

Champion for the Sultan Salah ad-Din

Here are some more pics for my Crusader Robot under Salah ad-Din. Still steampunk-but with an Islamic/Ottoman flair. The helmet was based on the Sultan's Calvary and the armor was based off of the foot soldiers. The ax is more of a Persian design.

Here is the completed body (but unpainted)


...and his Axe.


And a peek of his back side and it's inner workings

Victorian Steampunk Iron Horse

Here is the consumer version of my Iron Horse-my 4 legged steam punk walker. I still need to add a Howitzer and possibly a Gatling Gun (and do the detail work on the carriage). I envision this for large farms where the workers drag several tilling machines behind. The Royal army would use this to get a higher vantage point and maneuver the large cannons into a better position.







Stay tuned to see the Military version

My Steam Punk arm is Complete!!!

I am finally done with the arm.

All fingers work and the dome lights up. I had another set of lights in the control panel, but the battery kept opening my compartment-so I nixed that. We also have photos at the event-I just have to download them....later.

The majority of the arm is paper with a cardboard inner structure. Rubber bands are in the pistons and dental floss is used to control the fingers. The tubing, air regulators and gauges are real (and pretty heavy). Velcro was used to keep it on my arm. I will have photos of the wedding out soon-with me in full costume (and some other participants.

It's Complete!!!!!!! My Victorian Mech LIVES!!!

I finally completed (mostly) my Mech. Here are posted many pics of the finished piece. If I have time later-I may go back to add some more pipes and finish the front of the body (to truely look like an old iron horse). The mech stands 11 inches tall and is entirely paper-no wires, no string, no plastic (it does have pennies in the feet to keep it weighted). I am working on some other Steam Punk Mechs in the vein or PaperKraft and PaperForest.

SteamPunk Mechanized Walker

Construction has begun on a steam driven mechanized walking manlike machine of epic proportions. Crews have finished the boiler and the beams for the legs. Issues with the driver canopy have surfaced. The designer has not decided on whether to have a nice comfortable seat under a canopy or house the driver in an armored carapace. Updates to come....

New Project-Steampunk Mech

So, after my 4th of July project-I received alot of compliments about my mech (which didn't burn). So I am creating a series of 10 inch steampunk mechs. I just started on my first one-but here is the original







And here is where the hand launched off as planned and exploded. The gun fell off after the first missle took off-then spun in circles while the other 5 shot out. Then the smoke came, but no explosion. It now sits in my window.......handless.
