Tuesday 12th of May
The day felt like a true continuation of yesterday.
I advanced on the hand mechanism I had worked on yesterday. I added some rings to it so that it could easily move.
Although it is not perfect, I think I understand the mechanism I was trying to achieve and I can use it for spider legs if I re-organise the legs to be in a more animal shape.
After finishing that, I really wanted to work on the ring mechanism I had found yesterday. After many attempts at copying the complex ring mechanism I had found, I decided to make my own. Using some wire and some tape, I cut out two wings, and attached them to three points on my finger.
I am suite happy with the result ! My goal now is to make a few so that I can have some on both hands !
First flight, still trying to figure out how to keep the body of the butterfly stable, using my hands.
Second flight, found a way to add a second ring and stir through the body of the butterfly to add stability. Works way better, as I can only use one hand to move it now.
The final stage of the maquette, painted it black and orange.
I am quite happy with the result !
