    Contraption commissions

    So, I haven't posted anything in FOREVER and I've been really wanting to. These are some commissioned Contraptions that I made recently. Honestly, I think the these are some of the very best ones that I've made. I've been trying to experiment with new paint techniques and different parts and whatnot.



    First, the Frankenstein table:

    It comes complete with hand-made restrain straps (that snap on the side) and a locking mechanism underneath so that it doesn't fall over.





    And, the freaky procedure chair... This one has wrist and ankle restrains that hook with little "lobster clips"





    These were well-received by the "client" and we tried to introduce more "play value" into what has always kinda been stationary display pieces. I'd been thinking about play value with a bigger project that I was working on that I'm going to post some work-in-progress picks of.

    Thanks for looking. I'm going to have some new figures to post soon.

          I like the clever use of the sewing bobbins for the Frankie table; very creative.

              Evil? I thought ALL dentists were evil.

                  Man, those look fantastic. The shot of the Glenn Strange Frankenstein reminds me quite of bit of House of Frankenstein, before the monster carries the crazy scientist

                      The lab table and chair are fantastic. Very inspiring work!
                      The tentacle machine would be great if anyone does a Bela and Tor mego from 'Bride of the Monster'.

                        I keep going back to look at these, just noticed the use of the hinge on the chair. Great idea
