Making Robots

For years I have collected broken bits of junk in various pots and boxes, waiting for the right time to make them into robots or steam punk labs or something of that ilk. This Christmas was that time!
Here are the ingredients of the first robot:

 Broken bit of a headtorch, two washers and the plastic lantern-y bits from some dead Christmas tree lights...

Twiddly bits from some posh crackers and a copper thingy for holding pipes in place

 and a 'heat synch' possibly, from a dead computer? (if you know otherwise and it bothers you, feel free to let me know... I just know its a bit of dead interesting machinery I have had for years).

Here's the head I made after curling the wire over a barbecue stick, stretching it out and then glueing the little bobbles into the ends of the little lanterns, which were in turn glued into the sides of the head. The washers outlined the eyes.

The head was glued onto the body, a steam punk scrapbooking accessory stuck onto the front and that coppery pipe thing onto the side like an arm, to match the one that already exists on the other side, and it's done!
 

And here it is in situ on the mantlepiece among the Christmas stuff  for a metallic season.
More robots to come!
