The Toyman Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 An early morning start at a local swap meet netted me this fantastic steampunk type rocket ship. It started out in life as a 1920,s. Electro Lux vacuum cleaner, but has ended up as a very impressive Flash Gordon type rocket. I've added the serial number and given it a good clean and now it's ready to display.....when I find a space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Very cool. Where is the "Chrome Zone" part from? Or did the artist add that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Most impressive, Noel. And you can still clean the floor with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yeah; after he cleans the floor of dust and dirt, then he can scour the galaxy of scum and villany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toyman Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Thanks guys, I'm still on the trail of its creator and I may have found him, look how similar this one is, it's even the same vacuum cleaner! Andy, the Chrome Zone looks to have been added at the build stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
