Awesome! It'd be great to see something like this as a Chronoscope model -- some steampunk field artillery to go with our steampunk/Victoriana Chronoscope forces. It's hard to say, but I think the lower-right one is my favorite, for the flanged "ray-gun" look to the cannon nozzle, and the visible gears sticking up (because everything's extra-steampunky with gears). I'm wondering if the middle-right one has wheels from those wedding party-favor carriages you were turning into steampunk vehicles and such a while back?

Ah Froggy!
Very cool again! I love them. What did these start out as?

Please tell me you can get components for these in a hardware store.

They all look very amazing, you creativity will never stop to impress me. Great job!

Top right is pure business. My favourite.

Let's see about bits used. The basic idea is the same across all of them, but they're all different.

--The barrels are the little screw shafts you get in computer cables to attach the plugs to the back of the computer.

--Some of the muzzles are the screw bits that the above screw into, but mostly they're springs or whatever I could find that fit. Seriously, this was the hardest part.

--The wheels on the back and some of the mountings up front are parts ripped out of old VHS tapes.

--The wheels are either off those victorian carriages I've been using for steam-wagons, or they're computer cable/wire wrapped around the plates out of a VCR motor.

--The capacitors are all capacitors.

--Most other stuff is whatever I could find laying around, and is most likely ripped out of a cigarette lighter.

Very fun! I love seeing random objects around the house being incorporated into new pieces.

That, and of course, Steampunk! ^__^
