If you like that, check out some of the SteamPunk websites like brassgoggles.co.uk for more cool stuff. The blog there has some neat things.

Something very similar to that on the new Warehouse 13 series.

Ok I learned a new word today.

Steampunk


I also learned a new way of changing the look of plastic

Once all parts were fitted, I needed to change the look of the remaining plastic, so I applied some Porters ‘Liquid Iron’ and then treated this with Porters ‘Instant Rust’. This applies well to plastic as long as there is a good etch primer under it first

From Brass Goggles: The lighter side of Steampunk

I have been big "steampunk" fan for years. Got huge number of Goggles, helmets, watches, and other "useless stuff" laying around the house. If you search "Google" images you can find some very cool stuff.

I too have been a huge fan of steampunk for a long time, I've been working on my den, on and off, turning it into a Victorian steampunk inspired exposition of scientific marvel, the showpiece is my 90 gallon reef aquarium, and I've got random jars of weird things, a mineral collection, and a huge standing vase that's awaiting a giant venus fly trap.

Encrusted with dials and flashing lights, this device serves an unknown function.

Those are cool.

Some are similar to the projects at Mini Itx site. Here is a BMW pc. I am looking for a model of a Smart Fortwo so that I can do some thing similar to this Supra.

Im thinking a wrap for the outside so parts don't go flying off
