Created the pistons with a screw thread so can take it apart and used circlips to hold the knuckles together, really like the quick and resolved finish! It looks truly menacing, On with the next !

Getting the tripod together. Have made the pistons for the legs. Nearly there.  

Had the wooden egg made, now I can start the assembly process, have to turn some more components but I’m starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Got the metal legs back from the cutters. Really like the machined look of them. Can’t wait to get them cleaned up and assembled. Also started making the brass bits on the lathe. The wooden egg is up next.

Worked out idea for tripod legs. Rendered for jet cutting. This is going to be sweeeeet!

Getting my head in gear for a tripod walking machine sculpture. Here are some concept ideas. Going to use water jet components in this project. Think war of the worlds meets captain Nemo.
