The Flying Pig Automata

At long last I have completed the Flying Pig. As the handle gets cranked, the stars turn and the pig moves up and down, kicking the legs in and out and flapping the wings.

It is a hollow form and doubles as a "piggy bank".

I will have this on display at Dragon*Con this Labor Day and it is up for sale as part of the art show. If I make another automata, I will do the mechanical aspects differently.

In private collection.
