Rangoon

This is Rangoon, a Peekytoe Crab, fresh caught off the Maine coast, where I live.  His body is 4″ wide with legs adding another 2″  to the sides.

Rangoon is outfitted with spring-loaded claw-integrated saw blades,  aft double propeller, glass mouth gear, winding key, linked legs and handmade porcelain barnacles, jewel set third- eye, and various other mechanical integrations using over 200 components. He is displayed in a custom fabricated, stained and finished black walnut case and base. The wood trimmed display frame is installed with UV glass, soldered and assembled inside.  The name plate was custom cut, finished, patinated and engraved  with the name “RANGOON Cancer Irroratus”, the base is lined with an archival suede mat. Signed labeled and dated underneath by the artist.  Final display size 14″x12″x10″
