Gradually working on making the props for kids steampunk themed sessions, here's a couple of practise ones with my little monkeys.
Hat, monocle and guns made by me. Also got some goggles made but haven't processed those images yet!
As always, CC welcomed.

Love the hat, gun, bare feet…
everything! Very good! (y)(y)(y)
 
Very nice work!

Two small things which stood out to me.. the bare feet seem incongruous. Maybe rolling the trousers up would help?
In both pics it looks as though he has only one arm :)
Fair point Simon - didn't have any suitable footwear to go with the look so opted for barefoot. Need to try and find something for next time.
Also good shout on the posing - it's amazing (and somewhat disappointing) I didn't notice the arm thing myself! - will try and remember that for future.

The arm thing is exactly the sort of thing I'd do - hopefully once - and then spend too much time worrying about in the future!
 
He keen that @juggler :)

Great images love the fact you made the set up.

Thanks Gary,
It's becoming something of an obsession (according to my completely incorrect other half ;)) - I'm working on some leather shoulder / chest armour and arm bracers, with little gadgets, valves, (fake) riveted metal plates and gears for detail, complete with LEDs for effect!
I really enjoy making the props and it's good learning loads of different things as I'm doing it. Before this I would never have thought of making the hat out of foam but it works a treat!

I take it you're familiar with the Lost Wax channel? :)

I'm very tempted to have a go at the divers helmet.
 
Hi Jim
I got a buzz just reading your excited reply,
Have fun.

Yep, that's the one! I've done the hat (shown in these images - child and adult sizes) and goggles, also made the monocle using ideas from that channel. Going to give the jetpack a try too when I have chance. The 'steampunk' style just really lends itself to what I want to do for some themed child fine art images.
The guns are Nerf guns that I've modified - got a load of them all different models which look good. Will post some more images once I've processed them.
Regards
Jim
