Steampunk chicken-walker mech costume

[asadd2]

you tricked me lol :D I really thought it was somehow mechanical, just after a closer look I saw what you´ve done there :) great job!

[olddog5655]

this is awesome =D



[PcazzoB]

''Wanna look cool?''

''then get rid of your wheelchair and buy this instead!''

[extondude]

But can it blend? lol great idea there x3

[YourAverageJoeDavis]

That's beautiful

[gaaraneeds2lol]

You sneaky sneaky bastard xD

[IVIa5t3rBla5t3r]

i like the idea, making a six legged one would be more fun to "do up" also it could make it more stable

but hey its still wicked :P

[afboyfw]

why is it called a "chicken " walker? its really clevver!

[fallbread]

cool

[BanjoMikeGregory]

Wow!

Even though you didn't finish it to your original plans, it's still impressive.

Steampunk fans, please also see my SteamPunk Banjo video.

[TheSupercreazy]

he has got fake legs!!!

[whowantsabighug]

i think the legs need 'bones' they look a bit floppy

[zenthia]

@whowantsabighug generally when your legs are useless, you lose all muscle mass and lots of tissue so they do tend to flop around quite a bit.

[days77]

That is cool!

[granity6]

LOL !!!!

[staempirestrikesback]

you sir have inspired me.using the schematics i found on instructibles i built this and added my own flair to it using old victorian clocks,artificial wires and burns ,and plan to wear it for halloween and use in my short film. i salute you.

[tgseason12]

First I was like "explain to me how that works". And then it hit me :P

[Arkaman666]

can it walk stairs?

[finagler22]

Yes, but only backwards, and even then only with great difficulty.

[Arkaman666]

still cool :D

[xenbear]

so this is what happened to sigourney weaver after Alien !!!

[a11natura1]

damn, you nearly had me

[wtf889]

wanna push that dude over

[jellogiant]

steam punk is very nearly Jules Verne's work explored thoroughly and enthusiastically by everyday people. designers. and performers.

[bizo1990]

lazy very lazy

[KraZvEgGyBuRgEr]

Cool

[nerfmod]

you didnt tric me

[DiceWarwick]

but still good.

[tobbey222]

what is steampunk? is it just dressing....special, or is it building inventions out of copper and brass with clockwerk?

[stfuBUDDY]

it is doing completley gay, boring stuff with ugly nerd girls, and maybe have a drink or two, while thinking you are doing the coolest shit in the world, while everyone looks at you - Andrew Cohart, founder of steampunk co.

[pablow2310]

girls that are into steampunk are almsot always hot but nerdy as fuck and the guys..well fat or old

[CybernautZero]

No, it's like cyberpunk, but the world being in an era where the tech is steam powered instead.

[TBman256]

in my opinion steampunk is steam power taken to extreme lengths, for example:

regular steam engine-not steampunk

steam powered toaster-steampunk

[CabbagePatches]

i may have to steal this idea...

very impressive *subscribes*

[MELONHEAD13B]

Pretty cool. I actually thought that was your feet for a moment!

[aquafin101]

lol

[SmallBohemianFerret]

cool!! I hate to think how long it took you to make lol.

[tsunokami]

ugh

[paigereeder]

lol. That's pretty clever.

[steampoweredtv]

Clever. For a moment there I actually though you were sitting in that thing.

[chedarthehamster]

lol love it!

[psuedoephidrine]

wow, what a crap costume.

[falafelbunny]

wow thats so creative!

[borontheborelord]

Yoda once said something like"A life you have not."

[Dannnneh]

DUDE Cant u guys see its fake!?!?!

Look at 0:16 hes legs are black not white

he just put on fake legs !

He is actualy walking its not a robot or something!

[Ruphies]

Y'fuckin' think? It says so in the instructable. It's still an ingenious design, but nooo, it has to be fake?

[Bttscks]

Your observational skills are unparalleled.

[SaraSohma7]

whoaa thats awsome! i did a double take too XD

[MockStoneLLC]

ha ha made me look twice wether it was actually moving by itself!

[W4RW017]

Crap I really thought it was mechanized at first! Bravo :D

[LaPetiteMascarade]

Wow! This is a really neat costume. Steampunk = love.

[RexTalon]

Sure it uses no fuel and is cheap to maintain but you should see how much "smug" it produces.

[jaychins]

lol..

[eekeenoink]

Aha, very good! You know, you could make a movie about steampunk war veterans.. or rather veterans of a steampunk war, with this contraption.

[shadowfox544]

That's an AWESOME costume. If you could find a way to cover the rest of your legs it would look so realistic.

[finagler22]

Thanks! I had originally planned to add a third piston on each leg to better camouflage my real legs, and perhaps to add some hoses with glowing green liquid inside (harvested from chemical light sticks). But eventually just getting it done in time for Halloween became the real goal.

[shadowfox544]

I was fooled the first time I watched this video, but if your legs could be fully covered, it would've taken me a while to realize that this was only a costume. XD

[Freakazoit2]

Bugagagagaga! +1

[22CaliburArmadillo]

um yea thats why its called a COSTUME!

you're just retarded

at least this guy's making awesome stuff, you're

just a useless piece of shit.

[IPunchaUInTheFace]

LOL. Dumb person... dumb comment.

[W4RW017]

Lol wut? GTFO Newfag

[NodPilot42]

Run! The strange folk of the space only known as /b/ are attacking the good subjects of Queen Victoria! SAGE THEM!!!!!! SAAAGEEE THEEEM!!!!!!!

[W4RW017]

hooray for Youtube who completely ignores the fact that I responded to a guy bashing this thing. I think its awesome.

[Edwardius]

Awesome costume. Could've used a bit more bulk besides just two metal pistons for each leg, but it's fucking creative.

[scancool]

to all the people who say is fake they are morons, what part of "chicken-walker mech CUSTOME!!!!!!" you can not read?????

[Shufei]

This is Youtube, where the level of discourse defaults to that of a 5 year old bed-wetter. Eg, "U r gay" or "thts kewl".

[canisdormit]

You should have wasted your time comming up with a fake cure to cancer, now that video would be cool. . .

[mrbellek]

AWESOME!! you must contact NASA about this revolutionary new bipedal robot technology!

[LordDarthTemoc]

FAAAKKKEEE!!!

[bigblink]

haha ! nice

[valamilamasag]

It is fake, you using your real leg for walking and fake legs are on top of the seats, they aren't mooving.

[legendary852004]

"My 2007 Halloween costume" Hmm ya think?

[Asifnur]

It is fake, you using your real leg for walking and fake legs are on top of the seats, they aren't mooving. GOT YOU BOY!

[russcarljohnson]

ha!

[StaffyOatcake]

Man ur a genius!

[Asifnur]

thx!!!

its me??

[miciah]

lol it's weird without mechanical sounds

[bazilisk]

It would be more realistic if the "paralyzed legs" were made of a heavier material so they swung more like real legs.

[CrazyMongo]

that funny because it looks real but it aint

[SilverDragonWarrior]

FAKE!!

[nat1192]

@SilverDragonWarrior

No shit sherlock. That was kindof the idea.

[oniyagi]

lol, that was AWESOME!!! Is that the finished product?

[finagler22]

Yup, at least in the sense that I'm not allowing myself to futz with it now that Halloween is over :).

[oniyagi]

lol
