My hands acquire a shaking

Very nice job, sir!
The sort of weapon that makes the person facing the business end feel rather threatened!

...I read that as "Capt'n Nemo's Pacemaker"... I had to check how you would Steampunk a pacemaker! It looks great - I'd wear it!

Actually, powered by Kraken, it can do whatever you want. A simple matter of dosing...  ;)

Wonderful detailing; it is unmistakably the weapon of choice of a submariner and the design of its 'business end' really does look like it would be as effective in the depths as in air. Lovely build.

Yours,
Miranda.

Thank you !
I agree readily that it's a steampunk tinged with a kind of sci-fi forties (thirties ?), with a little bit of Disney and finally, a little bit of Mary Poppins.  :)
And that's exactly as I like it.

Golem neutralized.



Kraken neutralized.

Hmm... you obviously have a better class of flea-markets where you live. I do like the Kraken - that was a wonderful find. A fitting Peacemaker for Capt'n Nemo!

The screws are a little too modern looking.

Quite fantastic- I love how you integrated the Kraken!

I am fully aware of that. Planned for the Release 2.  ;)

Steam-compatible items like this one, YBIWYSI, you buy it when you see it. In case when. This octopus was waiting in my boxes for a long time.

Kraken neutralized, Release 2.



With very particular, but no doubt the contextually best fitting screw head "cover caps".


Banfili

The good old press stud - so many ways to use them, they are a great multi-purpose piece of kit!

And, for comparison, this can be found on Ebay. Well...


Banfili

No comparison!
Yours wins, hands down - or should that be hands up!
