Oh my Gozer! I absolutely love everything about it! The details are incredible and your steam punk interpretation of the proton pack and other gear is beautiful!
I found it easier to keep each section modular, and attached everything with screws to make it easier to remove for repairs and modifications. The number one thing to focus on is strength, add some reinforcement inside and have good attachment points. It gets twisted and shook around, and things break loose. Cosmetically, use as many real components that you can find, a real resistor with printing on it always looks better than a plastic copy. I made some of my gearboxes from scratch, but some were from old video cameras and toys as well. Lastly, use a good power source like a rechargeable power bank. I didn't do that on this one, and I am going to change that soon. The power requirements are rather high.
I've been wanting to do something like this. But I have no clue where to start. I haven't really found any instructional videos or sellers who sell this stuff already made. Any help would be great
It's all built by hand, with basic tools. The only way to make something like this otherwise would be by using parts from a craft store that look like the individual components, such as little wooden boxes, knobs, etc...
