Description
This is a six-armed underwater repair robot of my own design, assembled from various styrene plastic bits. Some parts i made for the project, but most are from my extensive collection of plastic stuff. The forward part of the rear section, for instance, was originally a container for cole slaw.... Several layers of grey and silver paints, simulated rust damage, dents and scratches, etc. Mounted with stainless steel rods on a commercial wood base. About 16 inches long.Related content

Like a "SteamPunk" version of something you'd see from the "Ghost In The Shell" anime series.

almost alive.. a bug-like creation by the creative mind and hand of mr. simpson

This oddly functional-looking little 'bot could've come right out of a Jules Verne novel. Perhaps it does maintenance and repair on the Nautilus. Lovely, imaginative creation.

It has various vents for water jet intake and output. It doesn't go very fast, and it would be taken to a repair site by a larger craft.

Well I must tell you, your work fascinates me.

Hmmm. I hope that's in a good way.

Im not sure why I like this so much....maybe it's the mention of the cole slaw container that I find so appealing

It also includes an easter egg, part of a salt shaker, several beads, assorted model kit parts, etc.

thank you. I need to do some effects photography and then ship the sub to the new owner. Packing will be tricky.

I've always have loved teh found object sculptures! The true test of creativity, depends on what little niknaks one finds, keep it up!

This is a lovely piece of work! I used to love making models like this from scrap bits and bobs.

It's a lot of fun. There are people who do it professionally for films, but also a lot of amateurs. There's one artist in my area who used to enter local art shows with his space ships made from what turned out to be former deodorant packages and such, and they were awesome (much better than mine, in my opinion).

Gorgeous! Love the detail you put into your sculptures ... this comes across as really cute!

Thatβs pretty cool! I like the design and I think itβs a really creative use for stuff that would otherwise just be trash.
