Wind Punk


You know the whole steampunk trend as well as dieselpunk...well we're windpunk....We are cooler though because we actually have the stuff....you don't see a steampunker with a steam engine unless they're at Maker Faire...but we got our buggys/boards...I now want to make a really cool buggy that has lots of cool gadgets on it and a lot of asthetic stuff for cruising in a world were there are no power lines or poles and trees are so big you can safely fly under them and everything is wind powered.....

bla
no wind again

Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.

But if you make it all gadgety doesn't that make you steampunk again? Unless the adornments are things like propellor beanies, pinwheels and whirligigs I guess :lol:

Would need to get the right helmet.



Chinguard is modular. Secondary smoked internal sunshield included. Need to have the custom distressed copper/brass paint job.

Being limited to only grey CF is sooooo passe. :P



Choose whatever flavor of iconel you prefer:



Copper Helmet and Gold Shield seems to work for a steampunk theme.

$1,813.47?!?! Really? Waaaaaay overpriced considering the current crop of CF helmets. Someone's sponsorship contract must have gotten renewed. ;)

Kazow! Paint it black and add it to the Darth Vader Casual Wear collection!

Someday, those stereo-lithography / 3D laser-hardened / epoxy/metal layering fabrication machines will be at the malls. Then you can have totally custom designed and fitted gear "in about an hour!"
