rotwang on April 30th, 2008 03:51 pm (UTC)Cool. What every Spark needs! (Why, yes, I have been reading those Girl Genius comics you kindly lent me ;-))
(grin)
Now time for some kind of flying engine!

steamfashion.Many thanks, I'm rather delighted with them M'self
WOW!Utterly brilliant! (here via cookwitch's lj)
WOW!! Much awesomeness ^_^

1x Compression 40mm(1 1/2 inch in old money) 135 degree knuckle bend
Nose bars are 4mm brass rod from a nearby model shop but anything between 2mm and 6mm would do. Doesn't have to be brass either, 5mm steel threaded studding would be ideal for mounting "things" on.

Those are totally awesome! Very impressive work. (And a glaring reminder that if I am going to have a steampunk costume for July I should start making it real soon now)
Which imples that something is happening on July 1st and I've not been informed!

Pah. I was expecting handcuffs at picture three
I thought they WERE all handcuffs.
They look good.
What are they like to wear? Does the plastic dig in at all?

Not too bad. They may get a little nose padding with some foam if they start to get sore over time.
Fantastic!!! (here via cookwitch's LJ) Are they for face wear, or just for head display?

They're fitted to Best Beloved's Face more than mine. I'll get some piccys of them as she's wearing them.

I love your creative, craft-tastic brain. The horns have since been passed on to a lovely coco-skinned lass named Byrdie, but they are still loved. Would love to craft with you again.

Then we shall do so.
Fancy building some big springy leg boots ?

What did you use for lenses? They look awesome!
(blush) Just some bits of 3mm perspex.
Cut them on a hole saw with the drill bit reversed so that it didn't drill a center hole.
Bit of an iffy technique if you don't have a drill press or a big clamp to hold the drill steady.
An alternative is to cut using a coping saw and just file to approximate size. The fitting isn't that crucial, there's about 4mm leeway.

I love the goggles! Thanks for the instructable. You're a gadgeteer with great talent for turning ordinary items into extraordinary assemblies. I can't wait to see more of your projects.

I'll see if I can post a "proper" instructable at some point.
These aren't quite done yet.

This is so inspired that it has cheered my whole day up...
Well done sir...

Figurine-painter's tip: now apply an ink 'wash' to give an 'aged' look, and dry-brush back to shiny metal on the edges that get worn in use.
(grin) The ink wash would alas run off the laquer, I'll see what I can fake up using acrylics.
The current paintset is spattered black over bright gold to give an greasy oil spattered look.

These are lovely! Tutorial maybe? They look simple enough that I think I could figure out on my own...
I'll post better instructions as soon as I can.
Currently somewhat surprised by the magnitude of the response!
Basic place to start is with 40mm plastic plumbing parts.
I used a 135 degree knuckle bend because it had two compression rings (eyepieces) and a vaguely useful shaped bit of pipe inbetween that became the side shields.
The rest of it was made up as I went along.
