So when is the next episode ? Yours, Miranda. As it's a WIP, very soon. This time, I don't start with the final product. Welcome on my worksite.  |

Very nice job, sir!
The sort of weapon that makes the person facing the business end feel rather threatened!

...I read that as "Capt'n Nemo's Pacemaker"... I had to check how you would Steampunk a pacemaker! It looks great - I'd wear it!

Actually, powered by Kraken, it can do whatever you want. A simple matter of dosing...  |

Wonderful detailing; it is unmistakably the weapon of choice of a submariner and the design of its 'business end' really does look like it would be as effective in the depths as in air. Lovely build.
Yours,
Miranda.

Thank you ! I agree readily that it's a steampunk tinged with a kind of sci-fi forties (thirties ?), with a little bit of Disney and finally, a little bit of Mary Poppins. And that's exactly as I like it. |

Hmm... you obviously have a better class of flea-markets where you live. I do like the Kraken - that was a wonderful find. A fitting Peacemaker for Capt'n Nemo!

King Kong neutralized.  Golem neutralized.  Kraken neutralized.  The screws are a little too modern looking. |

Steam-compatible items like this one, YBIWYSI, you buy it when you see it. In case when. This octopus was waiting in my boxes for a long time. |

Kraken neutralized, Release 2.  With very particular, but no doubt the contextually best fitting screw head "cover caps".  |

The good old press stud - so many ways to use them, they are a great multi-purpose piece of kit!

No comparison!
