Back to steam
Yes..... I'm back to steam, but not as we know it!
I guess it's the Emett influence again but I have a part of me which can't resist making something new out of odd, and generally, old things. The word 'Steam' is only part of the title, the other is 'Punk'.
Steampunk is an inspired movement of creativity and imagination. With a backdrop of either Victorian England or America’s Wild West at hand, modern technologies are re-imagined and realized as elaborate works of art, fashion, and mechanics. If Jules Verne or H.G. Wells were writing their science fiction today, it would be considered “steampunk.”
So here are examples of my own contribution to the movement.....
I haven't gone as far as following the dress code..... yet!

I think the hat might be suitable for me but I would have to think more carefully about the skirt, black stockings and high heels..... as they say,' you don't know until you try!'

Re: Back to steam
Seriously, though, some interesting constructional challenges there, Peter, plus a fair degree of creative thinking. Clearly your talents are not restricted to plastic as a medium.

Saw these in the email you sent me Peter. I do love the Blowtorch. Brilliant imagination there....
How the heck do you find the time to do all this brilliant work, as well as the 16mm stuff..........You must have "s in abundance flying around in your mind...

Re: Back to steam
I think I first encountered Steampunk playing a computer game when I was even younger called The Chaos Engine.
If you watch the intro it has nods to Steampunk:

Re: Back to steam
For me retro games are nostalgic, however, I don't touch a computer when I get home from work anymore!
