Steampunk Hazard Armor

Description

Until I can mount a proper photo shoot, this will have to do.

A better look at the armor that I made for the Steampunk World's Fair. The idea behind it was a sort of Steam-era Hazmat suit that supports its wearer's life functions. The piece comes complete with my Steampunk Plague Doctor Mask, but wearing that around the Con was just a bit too warm for May...

The Armor itself is made of hand tooled leather, copper plating, keyhole findings, hundreds of rivets and a battery powered light up heart that glows red out of the toggle operated metal grate on my chest.

The top hat was a cast off waxed cotton drill top hat from my Thesis, which you may recognize from my "Mephistopheles" shoot.

The eyewear is functional with my prescription and is also an antique pair of frames.

Wow...I saw a very similar piece at DragonCon one year.  I still have the picture I took of the person wearing it.  Was it really you?
