The VT Steambox - WIP

[Vap0rTim]

This is a little project I've been working on for the past few days. I recently purchased a 3.7v Wetbox from Clouds of Vapor. Needless to say, it kicks .... A lot of .... The only thing I didn't like about it was how plain the box itself was, so I started experimenting a little bit and this is what I've come up with so far. Just thought I'd put this thread up to show how it progresses through however many sessions of work I do on it until I decide it's done. Hope you like it, comments/suggestions/whatever please, thanks.

I love Steampunk stuff. I have been working on one off and on for a month now. Yours looks great.
(does the clock actually work?

Very cool! I love it!

 

[Bootsand]

That... is... AWESOME! (Big steampunk style fan here) You could market that. I'd buy one.

@cappadoc Thanks!

@Gummy Bear If I replace the battery in that watch, it will work, I just didn't see a real need for it and because it's attached to the box it would have been a pain to replace it when it went out, thank you for the compliment, you should post what you're working on!

@devnull71 Thank you!

@Bootsand I've been thinking about it, the main issue is that nothing I make using these methods can really be replicated, every creation would have to be completely customized and I don't have the funding to do it on new mods, people would have to send me whatever they wanted work done on. I'm also new to this, I wouldn't want to take on a project for someone else until I'm confident enough to do it right, this is the first and if it turns out well (I think it has so far.) then I may consider some sort of sales or modding service.

I want to finish my steampunk mod in hopes that when people ask me. "What the hell is that? I can say ,,, I dunno, I found it in an antique shop a few years ago, and nobody seem to know what it is, but it tastes good". When people ask me now I tell them that my tube mod is a "buried cable locator". or for my box mod I tell them that,, "ever since I dropped it , it smokes out of the antenna when I push the talk button".

Golly, that's pretty...you know!
