Can guess what it is? Should be easy...

Hmm...  a mobile crane?  :)

My guess would be a lighting or camera boom 8?)

Looks good.  Someone showed me (can't remember who - Wayne?) a method for
attaching pneumatic cylinders back to back like that, so that the cylinder
bodies are rigid.  You wouldn't need that pivoting standoff, so it might
run/look a bit cleaner.

I think you stick a 2x4 brick on the bottom of each cylinder, insert 4 black
friction pegs in the bottom of one of them, jam the ends together, then link
the holes in the cylinder bases with a 5-hole bar/liftarm/whatever (the
plates you have on there with the holes will work).

Couple of ideas here http://www.texbrick.com/ideas/cyl/
