Alien head - Animatronic project

[Matt Denton]

Nice work! Your really getting into the animatronics side of robotics

[innerbreed]

thanks matt.
Well its animatronics that got me into robotics.
im enjoying and learning different things. Its a very interesting area. The next step up i think.

I'm going for a custom look to this Animatronic Alien bust 'hence the teeth's bite is not copied from the original.
i have added a custom paint job too. i didnt want to go with the black skinned, grey/silver teeth, so iv opted for a "more organic" look. i hope.

This is an off-topic "off-toptic" post.
i had a nice 7 inch alien resin kit that i had been meaning to paint. now i have painted it i thought id share it with you.

Been thinking of changing the look of the teeth. as said before id like to make this different so im looking for a more natural/organic look.
something like this?:

Here we have the first half of the Main plate ready for testing.
I will be changing the side lip wires for thinner wire to match the wire for the front, as seen running down the middle.





you will notice the small White plastic cable housing part. that was formed using polyurethane from a mould. sanded down and drilled out.

I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Innerbreed, last Video of this project, signing off. ...
