Yacht in bulb

Another project with used light bulb. I decided to make a small yacht and put it inside the bulb. To make yacht I used wine cork, metal wire and paper. Epoxy resin with blue dye was used to make water. When the bulb was finished it was glued to previously painted (with cracking technique) wooden holder.

Pilotcopter (in progress)

 A hand-gun was painted and the effect is ok with me.

New legs under tests. it looks ok, so i will use them for this project.

 I filled empty spaces with paper and green stuff.

My wife did not like a metal legs so I found different option from plastic toy...

Fuel tank was mounted at the back.

Metal pieces from desk lamp were used to make legs. Wires and drinking straws were used to make hydraulic-like systems.

Other hand was made mainly from headphones and computer microphone. also some electronic parts were used on the side of the body.

Hand was made from wire and green stuff. All was glued to the main body.

I started gliuing some pieces to the body. The filter-like piece in the middle was made from paper and coffee metal filter. I used also some metal wire and screws

I used green stuff to sculpt a face.

I used green stuff to make metal-like stripes with screws. I wanted to achieve effect of metal body pieces connected together.

Video showing a test of motor with propeller. Exposed working gears are giving nice effect.

For tests I glued a propeller made from paper.

I realized that it would be good to make a working engine so I took some motor with gear box and started mounting it to plastic pieces. Battery and wires are placed beneath a metal plate/shim. I made a switch from screws at the bottom.

I built an engine using a tin can and pieces of plastic cups.

I made some simple drawings...I planned to make an engine on one piece of plastic. In general I planned to build a steampunk character.

when computer mouse broke down I decided to use it to make something...

Let Me Out

Used Glass bulb was used in this project (in 2011). After the bulb burned out I removed its inside using players (video  on how to do it can be found on YT). The bulb was laying somewhere in my room as I did not know what I can make of it. One day I took spontaneously a piece of paper and started bending it and twisting and at some point I saw a figure of a man  that can fit to the bulb...hence I took the bulb and put the paper sculpture in. The interesting thing is that a face of a man can be seen in this sculpture. This was not planned...It is automatic outcome of bending and twisting procedure....

SteamPunk Minion

Tutorial on how to make steampunk minion from kinder surprise

More detailed images below:

Kinder Egg is a starting point to build a minion :) 

Army Wehicle

Finished Army Vehicle 

(see making progress below) 

Army car in action!

Side view. After gluing top section to the egg, the made vehicle was painted and final results achieved.

Back view

Top section was added, made from paper.

On the other side I added window, exhaust system and cover of fuel tank.

Housing system was added to the ventilation system. Seat on the top was also added.

Grill was added. Metal mesh was taken from broken coffee maker. I used green stuff to make final shape.

On the other side of the egg I have added a ventilation system made from paper. front window glass was added using caps from drinking bottles and brass wire.

Everything started from kinder egg shell/capsule :) Inside the egg was a small car so I have decided to use it and build some army car. I cut a hole in the egg, put the egg on top of the car and glue it. Then I started adding bids. A gun comes from some toy, white piece from oil cap and a blue wheel from ? Next I have made a ladder and glue it to the egg side.

Flying Wings Automata

This is my 1st automata that I have made back to 2011. Its v. simple to make. I have used beer can to make box, a piece of wire and paper. Crank is bent in shape of letter "U" inside the box which  allows wing go up and down when turning (as video shows below).
