I’m pretty busy right now, it’s an exam week, but also here’s my latest. This is for an upcoming production of Finding Nemo Jr. Note the custom mechanisms in the eyes and mouth and the bags under my eyes.

I’ve been testing some gang mold designs for foam. They worked out surprisingly well, especially for a quick trial!

Dunky.

Here’s the tech specs:

4 week build,
3D printed scaffolding,
2 bearing joints,
controllers in the hoofs,
de-liming spring for armature,
Faux fur mostly hand sewed by Mary

Fun build! More to come next few days.

I’ve been designing a “lightsaber”-like chassis for… something. Any makers on Bluesky? #maker #3dprint #3dmodel

…Hello? Guess I’m here now. I quit X when it was still twitter, but now I’m trying to slowly Irish-goodbye FB and maybe Insta, and looking for a good alt.

Seems like everyone is in a similar boat, huh?
