New Steampunked gun

Greetings

A year or so ago I aquired an old damaged percussion-cap fowling piece from a friend.

He had bought it some time ago with the intention of steampunking it, but had never got around to it.

As it was cluttering up his place, he passed it on to me.

I have now finished my creation:













I am calling it the Shelly-Byron Precision Galvlock 

(As it is a muzzle-loader, I thought that a galvanic mechanism was appropriate and if the Shellys had the idea, Byron would have provided the money.)

You should also note that the sight is a real miniature telescope.

Until next time

Adieu

The Purple Dalek

Greetings

Here is an extra post for this week

A friend arranged a session at a ceramic painting workshop  a few weeks ago .

You choose an unglazed object and paint the glazes onto it. There were previously glazed examples to show what the colours would look like.

I chose a dalek money box. It had the eye stalk, manipulator and gun (which are plastic)  inside it in a little bag, like dalek gibblets.

We had to leave them there to be fired and she arranged to go back to collect them.Teddy then collected them from met her at another even. I  then fitted the eye stalk etc .

This is the first time I have tried this and I think it came out quite well




 Until next time
