That really grinds my gears.
I couldn’t even remember that.
Anyway, I love steampunk.
Done. He’s my watchlist and will be for the next years.
He’s been in my watch list for a while.
There are some very cool things there, yes.
yeah, in a real steampunk instrument, the gears would have some actual plausible function
>steampunk instrument
Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk,
That’s the trendy fashion nowadays…
Though this really is a beautiful piece of artwork, obvious cliche notwithstanding.
Well, excellent job you made here. Congrats!
Yep
Thanks so much. Are you the author of this nice piece?
Shes mostly made from Milliput clay and greenstuff, the details on cello are plasticard, some watch parts and other gubbins. Painted with acrylics. If you want to see some WIP pics: http://fav.me/d5f1zxh
Thanks, man; if it’s like you say, it’s even better than I thought.
Generally speaking, a great part of the craft presented in this site ranges from nice to awesome.

I wish I have seen this back then (in 2012 I wasn’t even in the Herd).
a lot of the design choices on Octavia herself bother me
I’m proud to say I’ve upvoted this back then.
Looking at this carefully, Octavia seems to have been made with modelling clay here.
The core of the cello looks like it’s carved hardwood.
The scrollwork piece looks like brass etching.
The cog wheel is most likely out of an old watch mechanism.
The strings are just wire
The other details on the cello are most likely parts from various model kits.
Overall, a great piece of sculpting.
Excellent indeed. Is this plastic, clay, plaster…?
