You know how Facebook works. You connect with a friend and through osmosis you pick up details about their friends and sometimes you connect with new and interesting people. I met Major Sebastian Perry through an Ascended Carbon called Sammi Rule. And abruptly I fell off a virtual cliff, into a sea of discovery. I sank, rapidly overwhelmed to a bed of hand-crafted items I could barely fathom for being real. But real they are. And purchase them you may – should you wish, or simply marvel at their detailed splendour. Major Sebastian Perry is the Mind behind Time Gypsies. And this post is a way of introducing him to your imagination and showcasing one of his many creations:
The Reaper
The Reaper - Steampunk creation by Time Gypsies
Steam powered auto-shotgun. Perfect companion in any post-apocalyptic survival situation and ideal for dispatching zombies.
Caution: Yellow Dawn enthusiasts would be advised against utilising such hardware in any area containing a large infestation of Infected; reason being the steam-powered mechanism is likely to be noisy enough to attract zeds to your location and the subsquent shell-blasts could easily stir up a zombie-surge. However, if you’re equipped with a large quantity of shells (are you rich?) and pre-loaded magazines to snap into place, you could probably shred your way through a surge.

Yeah, I’ve seen this guy too. Probably through mutual friends. The weapons he makes are cool but I particularly love his outfits. And, of course, he looks the part. If I wore that stuff I’d just get beaten up :-)
