From designer Lori Zawada comes "
Vapore Macchina Insetto". Limited to 50 figures priced at US$49.90 per, this steampunk-fueled insectoid-figurine is made by
Patch Together and available to order
here. Made from winning a contest at Patchtogether, Lori adds:
"I designed this steampunk resin figure and PT made a clay sculpt mold then hand painted 50 of them. They have semi transparent wings and the wings are attached via magnets so you can rotate them and they won't easily fall off."
Desirable? Yes! According to Lori, they might be at the coming
San Diego Comic Con (
www) so keep a lookout for them. As well check out the story of "Vapore Macchina Insetto" below:
STORY: It is the year 1852. It has been 30 years since the start of the Great War. Already it feels like two lifetimes. At first there was hope that we would be able to stop the invasion. However our Flying steam fortresses are no match for their tanks and our defenses are falling quickly. I fear we don't have much time. Our good Queen Victoria has been escorted to safety and is in hiding. I hope we have the means to keep her safe.
I have locked myself in my study in hopes of creating a new device that could turn the tides in this bloody war. Instead of military might I have come up with a small "information gathering device" that will benefit us all. If this little spy can sneak through the enemy's defenses and relay back to use precious information we might still have a chance.
. . . Oh no, I heard the main gates of my house have smashed in. Am I too late with this? You will find the schematics for the "Vapore Macchina Insetto" in this transmission. I pray that this information reaches my allies at PatchTogether and they can begin production before we lose all hope.
. . . . Oh heavens, I hear them coming up the stairs. The feeble lock on my door will not hold out for very long.
This is goodbye then. I must destroy my personal computing device lest the enemy forces discover my plans. Stay strong my friends, we could win this yet.
- FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY!!!
