Just wanted to bring attention to this chap -Mark Cordory. He's a Designer and Maker for Film, TV, Theatre, Exhibition and LRP and spent 2 years as Head of Department for props fabrication at Dr Who (Eccleston-early Tennant).

He's a really nice chap and amazing as at what he does and got into steampunk a little while back and has produced some stunning work

http://web.me.com/markcordory/Site/Galleries/Pages/Steampunk.html#0

he's also running a Q+A session at Waltz on the Wye this year as well as exhibiitng in our Contraptions exhibition.

also he has a facebook page where you can keep updated on his work

Is it wrong that my brain was more impressed that he's an LRP/LARP maker, than a Dr. Who props person.  I suspect it's just my background *grin*

not at all! his LRP work is sensational -we went round his house and spent time in his work shop and i basically couldn't stop grinning (though possibly some of that was the fumes from spray paint and latex!)

Ah, I finally looked at the links, didn't recognise anything from his website, but as soon as I saw the Leather Armour on the FB page there was a, "Ohhhhhhh him, yeah, he's lovely" moment.

His work is very good- I've seen some of it up close, and it's most impressive!

Wow. I love seeing what people do with this lovely aesthetic of ours! You can totally see his influence on the show's props (or maybe the show on him). His mind reader helmet is basically the head of a Cyberman!

I think Mr. Cordory is a member here, isn't he? I can't remember his screen name, though.

wow, those are gorgeous! I always felt like doctor who had a smidgen of steampunk in it, even if it wasn't named as such.
