First Mechanical Homunculus completed! Another piece I will submit for this summers Steampunk art show in Sacramento. I wanted this series to have a mix of Steampunk and arcane magic. Though it would be easier and more practical to build a personal spy/thief using an automaton of copper and brass metal works instead of just flesh and blood. Homunculus is contained in a Glass Cloche, sits on a base of brass etched with containment spells. It is approximately 9.5 inches high, 5.5 inches across and weighs about 1 lb 5 ozs. Fabricated from Brass, Copper, Watchparts, Century old Skeleton key, and glass.

Plus I'm lazy and hate to re-polish and shellack over and over!

That is absolutely awesome!
I love the way you can recognize different pieces of the figure and identify them as something!
Great concept :D And the glass bell absolutely makes this piece!

Thanks! I really need to get my butt in gear and finish all the pieces laying around my house. Probably after the Halloween costumes are finished! Much obliged for the props!

Ahh those are a pain to get! I will buy them on the rare occasion on ebay. I have found some distribution sites that sell them for reasonable prices for the smaller ones. I have switched to using clear acrylic tubes. I found a local supplier that sells the left over tubes for cheap. Tapp sells them for $42 a foot which is outrageous!
