I couldnt think of where else to put this? Anyways, Im bored on good friday with nothing to do.
These are 2 garden gnomes I made about 3 years ago for school projects in my last year at highschoool. The first ones made out of car/auto parts (was a total pain in the ass to make but definately worth it) The bodys part of engine block from a lawn mower, Alternater casing for the top of the head, Part of a starter motor for the "gun arm" closer to the camera. The other arm was made of 2small pistons welded together to make an elbow so the arm could move, its now rusted and wont budge though haha. And the legs were 2 larger pistons from a ford falcon motor I had to rebuild. Complete with some welding goggles.

The second was made out of steel square and circular tubing with 2bolts for eyes. Not as in-depth but I still love it. They've both been out in the weather but I think it adds to the character of them. My dad has a welder somewere in the garage so I've been thinking about making more to fill up the the front yard.

This ones off topic but I took it while taking these and thought it was pretty cool, reminds me of 360 degree panoramas
