Steam-Powered Violin - Progress

[ailsa_chan]

Here is my current progress on the violin:



Other than attaching the strings and finger board, I need to stencil "Sara" somewhere on the neck; add a pressure gauge, a volume gauge (going all the way up to 11) and a couple more pipes. Any more suggestions? I was thinking some faux brass panels.

In other news we found a slow worm in the garden. He's called Mr Slow and he's adorable, but not very photogenic.

I know it's poor form to think that steampunk just equals "COGS EVERYWHERE!!" but I do actually think it would like quite cool to have cogs on the tuning pegs - possibly interlocking?

I was wondering whether to do this, and wondering if it was too much. I think the cogs I have are too small to interlock, but I can certainly add some.
