I am working on Fritz the Steampunk puppet. He is not quite done, but here are some photos of the progress.

Love the goggles! Steampunk is such a great concept, can't wait to see what it looks like finished.

Welcome Yalaurie! I am thinking about steampunk myself (and than fantasy, going in a WarCraft gnomes direction), but I still got too much on my shelf as it is- maybe next month, if things turn out... I really love Fritz, those googles are truly awesome!

Awesome! The goggles really give him character.

Now off to google what Steampunk actually means.... 

Love it. I'm a big steampunk fan and have a couple of steampunk characters to build for my own project. Yours is coming along beautifully and I look forward to seeing how he finishes up.

Fritz looks great!  Did you make the goggles yourself?

Now off to google what Steampunk actually means.... 

Steampunk is basically making anything contemporary look like it came out of a Victorian clockmaker's shop
It's all about old world clothes and steam technology aesthetics and cogs combined with current ideas and mechanics. A really great example is this steampunk lego competition:

Competitors had to design a little vignette using lego, in a steampunk theme.

Or another really way to think of it: anything in the movie "Wild Wild West" (with Will Smith) could be considerd steampunk, albeit sort of watered down.

Great job on Fritz!

thanks guys! Yeah I made the googles out of plumbing couplings. These ones are rubber so you can cut them. (I had to cut them in half so they weren't so deep. Then I just covered them with leather and used the coupling fasteners to keep it all in place. The couplings have a nice ridge in the middle of them so I could glue the eyeballs into and then I put a piece of plastic over it for the lens. The smaller magnifying are doll glasses from the craft store I just cut in half.

Wow, I would have said those were real goggles. Very impressive
