Automata

[John B.]

The Double Bass player can't wait to join- unfortunately, he is waiting on me to assemble him!

The accordion player is on route and will be next after the bass player!

Hi John,

Just stop by at this topic and remind me to an interesting website :

http://cp.c-ij.com/en/contents/2023/list_45_1.html

Some of the automata toys could be built from paper. You can download all the PDF pattern for free but all you have to pay is the color printing cost. That`s the way canon do the business I enjoy the website very much. Hope you too.

Regards,
Victor

See your comment also for the video Unfortunately there was no link to the template or tutorial.

[John B.]

Awesome posts guys! Really enjoyed the paper anubis doing some tricks! Too bad the template is not available anywhere.

[Rob Rand]

Wow! Great stuff to make just with paper! Love it! Would be nice to try to find out how it is assembled...

I finally got around to building the Double Bass player. There were a lot of mechanics tucked away inside the Bass, so I took a few photos during the build.

Great model John! And it must have been fun to assemble!

[VictorS]

If you turn the lever, I believe it looks like Pinnochio being alive. What an excellent work John B. !! Wow...!!

Looks stunning John! Can we see yours in action?

[John B.]

I still have a few models waiting to be built, but saw this and wanted to share:

Timberkits have released a magician automaton! I am definitely looking forward to getting this one and getting it working!

[David DeTenyo]

Wow, you can't go wrong for that price! Thanks for sharing John

That's cool, going to see if there's a YouTube clip to see what trick he's performing

[PeterW]

Ok this guy looks too cool! Haven't found a video yet but these two photos gives some hint at its movement!

Great! And you can of course paint it the way you like!

[PeterW]

I was able to find this small gif of the Magician automata. There appears to be I believe four magic changes that occur. Here's the gif

[SimonC]

Coooooool!!

[Rob Rand]

this is a lovely kit. looking at his 'reveals' (frog/Apple/rabbit) if anyone has this set I could very easily remake that part to reveal anything you want, like a specific force card etc on my laser. I may buy myself a lot just so I can do it

[Rob Rand]

Yes I have this one, assembled it, even painted it! Lots of small parts!!!
Forgot to make a picture/video of it, looks beautiful with the colours!
Do you really want the instructions Simon? I even don't know if I still have them! Believe I threw them away
Sorry!!!
