Leather Stormtrooper Motorcycle Mask

Epic Leather created this hand crafted face shield, made from vegetable-tanned leather. Hopefully they'll make a scout trooper version for the speeder bike I'll be buying one day. That's after my hoverboard purchase, but before I buy my lightsaber.

Lego Sequencer

Designer Yoshi Akai made this 3 channel, 8 step sequencer with Legos and steampunk styled metal hardware. Adding the Lego blocks makes sounds and beats. Different sounds are also created from different colored bricks. Naturally, as with all Legos, you'll want to build your structures taller. When you stack the blocks higher and higher, it makes the sounds more complex.

Not sure why he had Mickey Mouse do the demo.

Steampunk Star Wars

Toys from back in the day are really cool.  Remember taking your old GI Joes and Star Wars figurines and setting them up all over the house and shooting bombs at each other?  Remember tying M80's to them and 'sploding them all over the place?  Yeah, that was cool. 

This guy Siloff had different ideas for his figurines.  Check out the work he has done on these custom steampunk style Star Wars characters.  We are sure you will agree that he has some pretty amazing stuff that we would not have the patience for.  Plus it's not wrapped in bacon so we would have no interest in making them.  Anybody else want to see what would happen with an M80 strapped to it's back?

Make sure to check out the rest of his stuff too. Star Wars isn't all he does. You can find it here.
