    I have never liked steampunk, and I never will!

    But that being said, I can surely appreciate the amount of work put into it, and the beauty of details! :thumb:

    Nice work, you going to do keyboard and mouse for it at all? if so you can always search ebay for watch innards or watch spares, sometime find plenty of lots with loads of clocks and springs, very steam punk style.

    or scrounge a clock from yard/garage/tag sales, charity shops or the like. mechanical clocks seem to be a 'toss out' item. Sad, that.

    Thanks :thumb:
    the votes don`t say that...




    ha ha ha ha is a joke :D
    Some updates, I put the handles were missing, and I think a pressure gauge to control the vapor pressure, where it says RPM, PSI should read, I was reading something else when I create it :lol:.

    detail of how the dome is placed
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    and so ended.
    [​IMG]

    I covered the back with a metal mesh that was open.

    I decided to extend the front buttons to be more practical to use.

    As you will see are just little things that go unnoticed but that make the detail of a complete work, thanks.:rock:
