I found an RC "Bug" robot at a local thrift shop, and thought it might make the perfect "power source" for my steampunk costumes. This is the ongoing build log.
Details
The end result of this project is to make a neat looking "Steampunk" style backpack, with lights and motion. Perhaps even steam!
You could use it to give sections of your backpack a metallic look.
The computer case gives some idea of scale but I'm hoping to talk you into using some other objects/people in future photos to provide a better idea of how big the backpack will be.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.
I've often thought this copper tape would look good with steampunk devices.
