Curio Obscura

Vroooooom......
So Chic and I were 'sploring in a japanese sim when he found a vendor for the above witch broom. To quote Fade, it is the Ghost Rider of witches brooms. The creator writes:
"Rile the Skies aboard this Wearable effect of sculpted gleaming chrome and wood! Appears in a puff when you fly, leaves a trail of fire and smoke behind you!

The BroomCycle is not a traditional "vehicle". To use the BroomCycle, simply WEAR it. When you fly, the BroomCycle will appear in a puff of white smoke. Then simply fly as you normally would. When you're flying along, fire and smoke will spew from the six exhaust pipes. When you want to disembark, simply stop flying and the BroomCycle will disappear in another puff of smoke."

Intrigued, we went to the main store, Curio Obscura, to check out what else the creator had made. She doesn't have a lot of stuff, but what she does have is fantastic.

Chicanery and I bought got the steampunk version of an Inspector Gadget helicopter hat. You get black, brown, pink, red and white. All are scripted to have copter parts pop out when you start flying. To the left you can see Chicanery landing and the copter parts getting pulled back into the top of the hat. He's wearing the black version.

On the right is me in the hat normal. It's a nice sculpted top hat, very classy. I tinted to a different color brown to match my jacket. The creator writes:



"The Topter Hat features SmartScale for easier rescaling for people of different heights. You can't change the size of individual parts of the Topter Hat because that would break the animation but, if you resize the hat as a whole, all of the animation will scale to match. In addition, some scaling of the handlebars will happen automatically depending on how tall you are."

We had some issues getting ours to work right away, but if you reset the scripts they tend to work or sometimes they just fix themselves.




I also picked up a cog brain. You get 3 different colors, silver, copper, and black, each with 3 styles and particle smoke. All the cogs move and teetertottery things teeter totter.

Also at Curio Obscura you can find, steam punk extendo legs, a copper clockwork girl skin, a victorian clockwork girl dress and a bunch of very cool sculpted witch hats that look like they are out of a Studio Ghibli film.
