Yesterday, Facebook user Nguy\u1ec5n Tu\u1ea5n<\/a> took to OFFB<\/a> \u2013 a Facebook group of car and machine enthusiasts \u2013 to share an impressive model of a metal chameleon he\u2019d created.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the chameleon looks almost life-like, even though its entire body only consists of cogs, metal plates, and screws.<\/p>\n

Across a series of pictures shared by Nguy\u1ec5n Tu\u1ea5n, we can get a glimpse into how the model was made. It seems the man has soldered metal wires together to create its frame.<\/p>\n

Another creation that has captured netizens’ attention is a bust of the character Bumblebee from the Transformers movie franchise. The Bumblebee piece comes fully equipped with glowing eyes and a functioning clockface melded onto a gear. He touts the design as the only one of its kind in existence.<\/p>\n

Another piece worth mentioning is a structure that looks like a giant Knight chess piece, albeit with metal chains for a mane, reminiscent of steampunk influences.<\/p>\n
