I saw one of these years ago made by a family member and he'd set the whole thing in a glass case. I'm almost inclined to have a go at one myself. The process isn't fast, I get that, but the last thing I made was a 1metre x 1 metre x 1/2metre model of HMS Victory that took a bit over 5 years to complete.

Note to self: must get a life, lol

By the way, any chance you could do a vid of the machine turning once it's totally complete?
Hi Paul - Thanks. I'm impressed that you spent 5 years making a model of HMS victory. Interesting, the hair on the automata is actually made from model boat rigging thread which I got from frontline hobbies in Newcastle.

I am planning on making a video on the weekend which I will upload.

I think Keith Newstead is very talented. Incredibly, he also seems to be able to make his Automata relatively quickly - i.e. over a few weeks.


Cheers,
Mark
