Meet Bertimus Copperwhiskers, there are only 2 available, a motley crew of mischievous, steampunk-inspired scrap art robot cats that are ready to pounce into your life! Each feline creation is crafted from the finest bits of forgotten history, giving them a quirky charm that’s irresistibly cute.
Their bodies are sculpted from vintage wooden plane bodies, as smooth and polished as if they’ve been purring for decades. Brass door handles serve as their elegant yet somewhat clunky front legs, giving them a regal, almost prancing stance. The back legs? Oh, they’ve gone full retro with Meccano two-inch wheels, because who needs regular legs when you can roll around like the eccentric kitties they are?
Perched atop their bodies is a 1940s black Bakelite viewfinder, now serving as a perfectly square head. Their eyes are sparkling glass cabochons that seem to follow your every move, glinting mischievously in the light. Their ears, fashioned from scrap metal, are jaunty little triangles that twitch with an air of mischief, as if these robo-cats are always up to no good.
And then there’s the pièce de résistance: the glorious copper whiskers, curly and gleaming like spirals of steampunk magic. These whiskers give the Bertimus Copperwhiskers their name, and they twitch ever so slightly thanks to the RC engine hidden inside their quirky frames. Yes, these kitties are fitted with tiny rotor blades, so if they’re not skidding around on their Meccano wheels, they might just take off into the air, whiskers a-whirling and tails a-twirling.
Just don’t be surprised if you hear a mechanical purr or the jingle of the bells around their neck, in the night, followed by the soft clatter of wheels on wood!
