Propologist-

Not only are these great mechanisms, but great photos documenting them. Thank you so much for taking the time to carefully illustrate the methods you use!

I believe the propologist was probably asking if you were refering to the vacuum former parts or the mouth mech parts from the diagrams.

parts

If you are refering the vacumformed parts, I made them my self. If you are refering about the mech. parts, I made most of those too. I am a Professional propmaker & prototype maker for the film and toy industry. If you would like to see what I have worked on you can visit my webbsite.HMS Creative Productions If you have any questions I will try and answer them,But please have patience I type like 2 words a minute.

just ageneral post about mechs for thsoe of you trying to build your own, most mechs are custom built for scarth you will be hard pressed to find all u need at the local hardware store, the way that Propologist, myself, and other in the industry is to make almost evrything by hand, some people have access to milling machines, and drill press and are able to great very intricate pieces of a design.materials range from the simple like styrene, and welding rod, and wood, to delron, and nylon , and block aluminium stock that can be turned into a required peice, just a little food for thought for all of you out thier,

sometimes those simple looking movments are very complicated indeed
