It’s been a minute since I had a new project to post!
Although I have been making miniatures and dioramas for several years, I had never attempted an automata before. I am a part of a miniature challenge group on FB and the current challenge is automata.
I was heavily inspired by Stoccafisso design, who has made several automata with figures whose hair is blowing in the wind.
I designed the entire thing and it is mostly made of 1/8" and 1/4" plywood. The window is also partially made of medium and light weight chipboard. The airships are made from various pieces of beads, jewelry findings and random bits of plastic I hoard for miniature making.
