ausfire Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've had the bits for this lying around for a while but decided to get on with it put it together. A singing duo - I call them Tom and Tina Tin Snips. The integral parts are the heads - knuckle joints from a shearer's comb. Good because they have teeth and open and close. The bodies are tin snips and the instruments are whatever. Here they are: I added a microphone and clear coat in the last picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Haha they are great Aus. Heads remind me a little of the guitarist from the band Gwar. Good use of the parts. I like the addition of the valve and breaker bar mic stand and how you ran the mic cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Those heads remind me of Guy Smiley from the Muppets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha, yes, some years ago I made a four piece rock band using those shearer's hand pieces. The drummer (beating on engine piston drums) was modelled on Animal from the Muppets. The lead singer was Billy Boltcutter and his group The Pliers. Had quite a few offers for that group but couldn't part with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
