This was my Halloween Costume for 2008. My concept was a SteamPunk inventor showing off his new wings. He's all dressed up to turn some heads at his amazing invention.

I constructed the wings from copper piping and bound them with craft wire. The straps are my roommates belts. The hat is just awesome and I've worn it every day since Halloween. The goggles are some brazing goggles I've had for years but this year I dressed them up to look a little nicer. They were ugly green before. The arm garters were made by me. People should not underestimate the sexiness of arm garters, they're classy when worn correctly.

All the copper for the wings was a bit costly. I justified it by designing an instrument which I will recycle the pipes into. It will be called a "repeating hydrophone." The repeating hydrophone will operate by dripping water onto resonating pipes at a controlled rate. Mad science following more mad science.

If someone wants this for stock go right ahead, it's not fancy. If you can improve it let me know and I'll check it out. Just give me the usual credit.
