Question

i love steampunk style. gents. but need advice. i would like my segway x2 turf to appear more stempunk. i have replaced most of the digital panel with old gauges from steam valve regulators. but not sure what to do with the rest. does brass spray paint just seem tacky-ness? i am kinduv out of ideas here, but have plenty of inspiration-room.

i'm praying for a best anser soon!

Answer 1

hey. it sounds like you're well on your way to having a really impressive mod there.

brass spraypaint is kinda chintsy and liable to peel off, I would recommend going to your local hardware store and picking up some brass sheeting (pricey, but worth it) and cutting it to fit around all the main exposed parts of your segway.  you could also build a new platform with some nice hardwood and detail it with brass or copper tubing (also from your local hardware store).

also (this is maybe a bit crazy) but how about wooden wheels??

anyway, hope this helsp. good luck! the steampunk movement really is an interesting one to get into right now.
