the one eyed astropus






made from acrylic plastic fiberglass brass steel p38 filler and epoxy putty.
working lights front and rear with a strobe exhaust nozzle and cockpit illumination.
2 aa batteries in the base power up the lights.
the eyelashes are plucked from a clothes brush.
the wing mirrors are made from pieces of mini disc and sparkle nicely.

Great Flaming Space!!!!

That's duly and truly groovy. As if Derek Meddings went to a London party and got his tea dosed...

I look forward to your animated antics -- your sensibility is realy delicious.

Inspiring! I'm so stealing your eyelash brush bristle idea and generally going to soak up your resourcefulness! Rock on!
