Getting married Steampunk style

Coming via the Weddings Unveiled Blog, this was the happy day of victorian enthusiasts Bonnie and Daniel who tied the knot at the  perfect twin locations of Union Station – a gorgeously restored 19th-Century railroad station in Nashville Tennesee – and the Cannery Ballroom. Pure steampunk romance…

And there even a little vaudeville-styled movie of the big day. Steamblog send their congratulations to the happy couple.

Steampunk style in the NY Times
“I’m so sick of baggy pants hanging off your bottom,” he said. “This is more refined. It goes back to a time when people had some dignity.”

Cool cheetah couriers

Weighing in a 18 kilos this spectacular cheetah was produced by Andrew Chase over a period of 10 weeks (around 60 hours in total) and measures 127cm from nose to tail. Part of his ‘Timmy’ project, the robot cheetahs are used a couriers around a steampunked underworld. The crazy Timmy universe is poulated by hulking elephants and telescopic giraffes. Timmy itself is a cute little robot Trionic Morphatractable Engineer (or TME to its mates).

The motion captured film before shows what the cheetah sculpture would look like mid-run.

The steamblog is looking forward to more marvels in Andrew’s mechanical menagerie.
