#4 "Friends" finished

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBwH7VV6uXg&feature=channel

This is #4 and I am well on the way to building the display trailer .
I have decided to put about 4 small Automata across the back of it that can be used by the public,so #5 that only needs a coat of clear is to be 1 of these 4.
#5 will be posted as soon as I can get it finished and a video made.
Better explain the Display Trailer to you.
The fact of life these days is that folks that visit the Eumundi Market are not spending like they did in the old days so all the Automata that I build will be on display and not 4 sale, I plan to ask them to pay to have a look like an old time show.
That way I keep the Automata and sell it every week at the same time.

Have Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

#4 almost finished

Well 1 of the first I ever started is just about finished .
Tis a bloke on a scooter/ bike with his dog.
The reason that it has taken this long was getting my head around the A: getting him to ride around and for the dog to follow him with it's head and wag it's tail when he got close .
After about 9 goes at it , it all came down to 1 simple drive cog . Dam don't you just hate that?
So kiss method is the best Keep It Simple Stupid.
Just now will check if I put # 3 on here.
