Leprechaun


Found at Carrigaphooka Castle.








Thanks to David from The Old Pretenders for giving me the opportunity to build a mummified Leprechaun.
 I wanted to do it for some time.
I have always liked contrasts and the idea of an evil old mummified creature in a extravagant green suit and large hat really appealed to me.
 I wanted him to look like an uncivilized creature trying to look civilized, clothes made up of  old handcherchiefs and stolen jewelry  The figure with box is about 35cm.

Steampunk Freddy Krueger glove










Not every day you get the opportunity to make your very own version of the classic Freddy Krueger glove.
Very enjoyable project indeed.

I went for a gritty combo of horror and turn of the century technology, a bit more elaborate and refined then the original, but still with that "built by a madman" vibe.
 I imagine the wires would be connected to an external power-source to electrify the blades for extra spectacular effect.

Mainly made out of sheet brass, lots of bolts, my old glove and some madly sew together leather.

(Edit: added last picture with clockwork because, well... I added clockwork)
