Steam-punk Coleman lantern

This is my first attemp at steampunk art, I thought coleman lanterns are painfully boring, so I converted an old gas torch,
not sure if I would call this project done, but it was relatively quick and fun.

Wow! It looks great in the update! I love what you did with the strainer... with the added crystals it looks like it could have been the original lamp shade!

This is neat, I do believe that this is the first steampunk lantern that actually runs on gas, most of the ones I've seen have been modified to electric with LEDs... Overall I like your design, though the shade itself could use a bit of work, I'm guessing it was once a wire mesh basket? - I think is still see the handle, it might look a bit better if you removed that... Anyways overall well done, and I look forward to seeing what other cool stuff you come up with!
