Photos from the second day of the ninth “Weekend at the Asylum” steampunk festival in Lincoln

Not much of a theme for the following pics; just a random selection of splendid folk:
-

Attendees at the Steampunk Mashup:
-
- Audience
-
- Victor Von Doom
-
- “Are you Batman?” “No, I’m Superman”
-
- Three interpretations of who ya gonna call when there’s something weird
The day ended with a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sing-a-long, plus a replica and a costume contest:
