July 14th, 2009
Actually, it’s just a sculpture with articulated joints, but by all the gods of steampunk , it looks glorious. The product of 60 hours’ labor and a selection of used transmission parts, disemboweled household appliances and 20-gauge steel, the mechanical cheetah stands 24-inches tall and 50-inches long.
