Steampunk droid

[TK-326]

The past couple of months I've made progress with my second droid. He's going to be done in the steampunk/Victorian/Jules Verne-style.

So far I have copper panels for the skins, some brass details on the head and skins, and I've reconfigured the drink tray.

He will be a part of a Steampunk Ghostbusters team for Dragon*Con 2009.

He just begs to have a steam whistle on him.... Please...

That can be how he "talks" diffrent whistle sounds.

That is fantastic, can't wait to see more.

Or a whole series of pipes of different sizes, like you'd see on a pipe organ, or Pans' flute. Then it could do a whole range of sounds.:thumbsup

It would be cool to have some external brass wheels and pistons like on the old style steam trains.

I always wanted to do one like this, only use the wooden tube for the body. Have nice oak veneer on it all stained and sealed. I am glad someone is doing one like this. You throw on some of 3po's brass details also...
Nice work Chris.

maybe a Coal chute as well.

Another cool thing about that is that it wouldn't just be another sound chip or some recording. If one could pull that off that is.

SO cool! I can't wait to see this finished! My only advice is don't go overboard with the victorian hardware (i.e., the door knob plate on the right side of the body..
