Steampunk Crab Sculpture with top hat

This is super cute and looks to be very well made. You have great proportions with the legs and front pinchers. Also the uniformity of the patina on all of the parts is impressive. I especially like the top hat. I can tell that parts of the hat are little cogwheels or gears but what did you sandwich in between them? It looks like some kind of bead? The hat comes off extremely well. I also am curious about what the eyes are made of. I can absolutely picture this little guy crawling around someones laboratory.I also wanted to mention that, from the image posted, it appears that you did a great job with connecting the various parts in a clean and pleasant manner without any unsigntly seaming. Overall a very professional looking piece. Can't wait to see more!
