Pilotcopter (in progress)

 A hand-gun was painted and the effect is ok with me.

New legs under tests. it looks ok, so i will use them for this project.

 I filled empty spaces with paper and green stuff.

My wife did not like a metal legs so I found different option from plastic toy...

Fuel tank was mounted at the back.



Metal pieces from desk lamp were used to make legs. Wires and drinking straws were used to make hydraulic-like systems.

Other hand was made mainly from headphones and computer microphone. also some electronic parts were used on the side of the body.

Hand was made from wire and green stuff. All was glued to the main body.

I started gliuing some pieces to the body. The filter-like piece in the middle was made from paper and coffee metal filter. I used also some metal wire and screws

I used green stuff to sculpt a face.


I used green stuff to make metal-like stripes with screws. I wanted to achieve effect of metal body pieces connected together.

Video showing a test of motor with propeller. Exposed working gears are giving nice effect.


For tests I glued a propeller made from paper.

I realized that it would be good to make a working engine so I took some motor with gear box and started mounting it to plastic pieces. Battery and wires are placed beneath a metal plate/shim. I made a switch from screws at the bottom.

I built an engine using a tin can and pieces of plastic cups.



I made some simple drawings...I planned to make an engine on one piece of plastic. In general I planned to build a steampunk character.

when computer mouse broke down I decided to use it to make something...
