Well Pris n Jessica did a body-swap but poor Jess has been out of the picture for a while.
Sick of her being left on the shelf (quite literally!) ...
... I decided to do something about it.
revoL n I have had a few talks on the subject and he came up with some brilliant suggestions for the rebuild.
I want mk 111 to be more poseable so decided to make the knee and elbow
joints and some in the spine from cable. One of revs ideas was to thread the cable into the "bone" tubing and attach through holes in each end of each
bone.
Warning. Since recent mishaps please do not copy this method. Pics retained for archive only.
holes drilled through plastic tubing (burrs removed later)...
Wire paired back at each end...
wires fed through holes at each end , bent back on themselves and secured with cable (zip) ties then reinforced with duck tape.
gap inside tube around thinner wires stuffed with wadding to minimise internal movement.
knee joint straight...
knee joint bent.
