New World War I Wooden Automata Project

<<SDC11466.jpg>>
This is the beginning of my dad's new wooden automata project. This time the theme will be World War I with soldiers, machine guns, fighter planes and anything else he dreams up.

His aim is to have it finished by Christmas though don't hold your breath as these machines require infinite patience. The gears, cogs and levers are all designed and made to fit as the build develops.

To get a flavour of what these automata machines are about you can watch his previous creation 'Cowboy Serenade' at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHb7GXHhrHQ

I'm going to post a photo each week to see how the thing grows. When it's finished I'll post a video on here to show it in all its glory!

Very clever. I can see where you get your creativity from.
