Steampunk Mechanical Lion

10/09/2006 10:34 AM

A metal worker in Belgium created this beautiful motorized lion. Not only is it a work of art, it is also ride-able. The only thing that detracts from the creation is the rather odd feet that look like those old windup toys I used to have as a kid.

Still I imagine it can't be easy to build something like this. I wonder what the drive train would look like.

Here is the video of the creator riding his lion. Warning the audio is loud and it's just an engine running.
