Gotta start someplace: The Steam Man of the Prairie
Dr. YoKai:
I started this between two and three years ago. It's mostly scratch, starting with a clear plastic Christmas ornament for the main body, and a
fishing bobber ( or float ) for the head. Everything else is a combination of evergreen sheet and shapes ( mainly half round and angle ) The
shoulder shields are aves formed over another fishing bobber. I need to add the rivets to it, and do the 'mouth grill, then add the last bits and paint it. Sorry I don't have more in-progress shots.
Acree:
That looks amazing, Dr.! Is this an imaginative springing forth from your fertile mind or is there some inspiration from somewhere?
Dr. YoKai:
A Timely question! :smiley:The source-
One of the earliest 'mechanical men' in fiction, it was purely an engine, not an automaton. This is, I believe, the earliest use of the
titular character, who was re-created two or three more times by different dime novel or early pulp writers.
A Brief summary
Acree:
Double-wow! You have captured him well! Congrats! Looking forward to seeing the final version!
Kerick:
Looks like something right out of Wild, Wild West!
Nice work Dr.
