One of the things that may be missing from your steampunk project is a healthy set of highly conductive electric coils. These would be handy for carrying large amounts of power from the radiant matter accelerator cells over to the parabolic aether wave form nets on your hand held powered weapon. To that end, you can create your very own coils simply and to your own specific lengths. Just buy some basic metal beading wire which can be found at a craft store in the jewelery section. This wire is general designed for making various forms of jewelery such as necklaces but it's tensile strength and flexibility are perfect for electronic parts.
The wire can be wrapped around a small round form which will help to give it the desired coil shape and can then be attatched to some component on your project to help give more detail and realism. I chose a smaller coil so the form I used was the plastic straw out of a spray bottle.
I was able to make a coil about 3 or 4 inches long that fits well over the top of my goggles and helps promote the look of some of the other electrical components I am using.
