I hope you'll be wearing a white lab coat, as thunder and lightening are over your garage as you shout that! ;)

Just never connect it to the internet, it may try and take over the world like that episode of the X-Files. lol

As you see, not that much has changed. I have however made the chestplate for the ribs to attach to. This also acts as the fastening point for the ball and socket joints which will hold the neck pistons. As you can maybe see, some of the ribs are a tiny bit too short to attach the the chest plate, so I will have to remake them a bit longer.

Im currently making the pistons to join the head to the body. Im having to make them telescopic, so that they work even when the head is moved about. At the moment i've only got some long bolts to help line the ball and socket joints up.

as always a pleasure to see an update on this and the work is coming along nicely! I cant wait for this project to be finished! it inspires me to do something but thten i look at my feeble hands and the inspiration is lost!
 
And the next update is.... now! ;)
Ive done a bit more work on the pistons today. They turned out to be quite a bit harder to plan and make than I had expected. Initially I was just going to make a simple 1 stage, 1 cylinder piston. But when I did the maths on it, It would turn out to be only something like 15mm travel, which wasn't enough. So in the end ive made a 2 stage, 2 cylinder piston which as quite a lot more travel. I think its got something like 60mm in total. Please ignore the masking tape holding it together, that was just for testing. Im currently epoxying the two parts together, I will then wrap them in some alu to make it look better.
