Steampunk Darth Vader Mask

eBayer pogo*the*clown made this steampunk-tastic Vintage Darth Vader mask that was bought at Disney World:

I modified the helmet by carving out detail to make it look like brass plate and adding several tacks to simulate rivets. This process was tedious and took forever. I finished it off with a WWI style helmet spike, which is actually a ceiling fan pull chain and an antique paint job. The chest plate was made from a shadow box frame (8 inches tall x 6 inches wide x 3 inches deep) and a bunch of cannibalized clock, and other device parts. I wired a green LED to a switch in the back that runs on two AA batteries. The steam tank was made from a piece of PVC pipe with a vintage pressure valve inserted into it.

Bidding has ended (drats!) but you can still gawk at the pics: Link [eBay] or at GeeksAlert


Hasn't this steampunk thing been done to death already? I thought the first hundred or so items were great... steampunk computers, steampunk cell phones, steampunk vibrators (okay, I think I made that last one up). But a steampunk Darth Vader? *yawn*
