ok last week some of you may remember i posted a thread asking for a modeller to create a mesh for a project i was doing.
Thanks to everyone who responded, and im sorry that in the end i closed the thread due to high price quotes. following this i modelled the mesh myself.
Photo reference and first phase mesh:
Part complete mesh over reference.
The final mesh: (made available to buy)

ANYWAY,

as well as that i have been creating the internal mechanical rig.
A few changes have been made since there images were captured.
The mechanical rig will allow for "up to" 11 servos to be installed.
Although the rig will never need 11 servos. In making more available space with in the rig will help me in assembly once i get this printed.
The rig is designed to be printed in one whole piece. and the mechanical tolerances have all been designed to work straight out of the printer.
All ill need to do is add servos and join up the linkages.
How this rig all works will be shown once i can fund getting it made.

Just to make things a bit clearer, i will not be printing the Head mech i modeled previously. this part was simply so i can work out the internal space with in the 3d model. (The main reason i didnt feel comfortable paying huge amounts on getting it modelled.)
But again i have made that available to buy. as i do with most of my work.
Once the rig is all up and running i will be making a series of moulds from the original physical model. this will allow me to create an underskull and also a silicone skin to dress it all with.
I hope you'll find this project of interest.
i will be "printing" the whole body, etc also.
