Playing with a Caterpillar

Lets see if we can talk him in to walking a little bit.

Toymakingdad built a caterpillar Automata and I just loved it so had to give it a try.
I should add he gives a very complete how to with many problem solving ideas, because there can be problems getting everything just so.
I never knew caterpillars could be so much trouble.
It's just made out of scraps I had laying around the shop.
Pine and more pine. LOL

Then I thought I would change it up a bit and make him one of them furry one's.

I had to add it to face book for the video to work.
It hasn't been waxed up yet but seems to work pretty well.
Now lets see if we can talk him in to walking a little bit.

I just put the drill on there to loosen every thing up but it's fun to see how fast he can go before he starts messing up.

Not really into the paint thing but may put a light danish on it and then the dark to get some color to him.
This was really just a prof of concept to me, wanting to get my feet wet in animations.

Hey #4, I really don't know how I came across this idea (probably somewhere amongst all that copious reading I do… in my sleep), however. if you are contemplating animations, this could give you a good soaking...

These are the components that can be used to create most types of toy machinations...
Image


Just in case you want to follow your nose, sniff this out. It's a SketchUp model of the components… can be used to print out cutting templates.

How to incorporate them into a build?... Sorry but you'll have to learn to suck your own eggs!

Hey #4, It's probably not as much as I hate reading… but I write so much that when I read it to correct the spelling and grammar, I exhaust my reading quota.

By the way, I must have deleted the above link when I went to reclaim some DropBox real estate… so that'll conserve some of your reading ritual.

Wood burning train #2

Well I got some insulation in the ceiling so till I get more $$$ for insulation for the walls will be getting back to building models.
Got the plans for the wood burner Toys and Joys plans so will be playing with this for a little while.
I build the coal burner a while back but shrunk it down but this time going to try a full size train so may put in a few more details, we'll see how that goes. :-]

Since moving to a new shop having to find the tools I need and figure out the best why to get er done so Not taking as many picture, but if any one has a need to know how I got something done just ask but please check out my other train blog for how the boiler and wheels are made.
I also built a more modern train here.

Cut out the base and glued it up and while it was drying started on the boiler.
Image

Thankfully I had some 1/4" all thread left over from the last train build.

Using poplar for the main wood and cherry for the rest if I can scrounge up some more.

Image


Then the floor.
Image


Roof.
Image


Then the cabin sides and front.
Image


I don't know but it looks top heavy to me but as I said it is bigger than most of my other builds.

It looks fine to me.

Build it the way YOU like it.

Plans are a place to start FROM! They are not a legal requirement to follow blindly.

Deviations from the plans are what makes them your OWN BUILD!
