You know DarkLore, it makes me think of some of these work out machines that people get tired of and want to give away. I wonder if some of them can be adapted to use for making these pneumatics? The base of the one you are showing looks like it came from one of those types of machines.

I have seen some projects like those before. This one was made from the ground up though.

Nice work DL and C&JD. A couple of ?'s. How did you create the bend in the spine and are those wooden blocks holding the ribs?

The rib vertebrae are sections of 2x2 with a large knotch cut out. On the ends I drilled holes with a Forster bit for the tubing to fit in. Inside the hole it's flat with a tiny hole drilled in. The tiny hole is for a piece of coat hanger wire to help form the rib to a proper curve.

[QUOTE=DarkLore;633020]The curve of the spine took some trial and error because you can't tell if it looks right until its put together. C&JD cut sections of metal and welded them together. QUOTE]
Wow, that's impressive! Look forward to your progress on this.

Ugh, re-wiring this thing was a pain. I accidentally drilled through the first wire. And I needed an additional wire for lights. Since I didn't want thin crappy wire, it took quite a bit of effort and a few additional drill holes to avoid the pivots.
I cut up a foam pool noodle to thicken the body and limbs. Then began coating. I'll do the head last.   Btw - the wood pole is just propping him up. Current height, not fully extended is approx 4'6". If the figure were standing it would be about 8-9'.

I rather like this unfinished look. It's so skeletal
