I no can seez. :(

Okay, so here's a tip if you didn't already know it....yard sales are the bomb for finding this stuff. I have 80% of the upcycled supplies for my persona (for probably less than $35, including leather material). I found an old catcher's chest protection for $1. I'm going to try spray painting it like a gunmetal color and using corcksrewy tacks to attach...ummm....I don't know, something, to the front. And if it doesn't work, I'm out $1. If it turns out like it looks in my head....it'll be pretty cool.

You've got to think outside the box. DE-CONSTRUCT everything (purses, pants, watches, cameras, belts, toys, car parts) and then put it back together however YOU want it to look. And that's steampunk. ;)

I love the backpack/rocketpacks. I will probably work on one at some point. But that's too ambitious for the reunion, plus it doesn't suit my persona. Maybe I'll do an airship character with a rocket pack some time.

Yes the backpack/rocketpacks are awesome... Today I was at Goodwill looking for a trench coat or something that would work for me, but to no avail, as usual I can't find things I am looking for, and when I don't need them, they are seen in sets of 3's... I was also rummaging in the kids section trying to find armor,or Halloween things lol. Then I was searching for belts and then Doll looked at me, with the eyes that said, ENOUGH! Lets go, to which I dragged my feet and pouted on the way out...
Note to self... Go after work so you can search for the treasures!

I went yard-selling a couple of weeks ago and scored all my guns for like $1.50. I got enough to screw up the first one and then make my favorite one look right, and a couple more.

I believe this is the Nerf Magnum - one of the most popular guns to SP... I did this one, so that means it's VERY easy because I'm about as creative / talented as a piece of dirt. Seriously...

I came to Steampunk through the Difference Engine which I read because my *god*, William Gibson, had written it. (This was after the Sprawl trilogy (Neuromancer and following) and before the Bridge trilogy (Virtual light and following) ) and while it's interesting it hasn't grabbed me like cyberpunk did.

The Diamond Age, I find a fascinating setting and, in fact, a brief snippet early on the book where Finkle-McGraw is talking to Hackworth about what went terribly wrong at the end of the last century planted the seed of a sci-fi novel I'm slowly but surely slogging my way through writing.

Cheers
