So I've been thinking of doing some Art Deco inspired mods and it seems like the internet is reading my mind again!

I love this Dieselpunk casemod from Germany! Follow that link for a few more pics but what really caught my eye was some shots of a model made from etched brass here. Wow! such detail! (Thanks Joerg!)

PS: Wouldn't this look great with Doc's Industrial Keyboard !

During a recent book signing in Seattle William Gibson was asked about the Steampunk modding craze.  I think it was really cool that he was aware of us!  In addition he commented: "My one complaint is, they make these things look all shiny and new...I think they should look...distressed."

Well, Kevin just sent me some pictures of his Steampunk Keyboard and I think he's managed just that!

I love it when someone takes a core idea from one of my projects and re-spins it in their own style like this keyboard.  I think a lot of people will be excited by the fact that it was made without a great deal of metalwork as my original was.

And if you've no time to make something like this as a gift for that special someone you can bid on this particular keyboard right now on eBay!
