Description

Iv built most of his head and neck now.  Iv still got work to do on both but its nearly there.  Everything works off of cables that are pulled using controls.  The pulling of the cables move the levers and pulleys built into his head to give him life, and the neck is flexed /up/dow/left/right by tightening and loosing the cables in it.  Theres an upper and lower neck.  The lower one is stiffer but give more support so his long neck doesnt flop.  His upper neck is more flexible allowing him to look about freely.  The upper and lower neck and move independently of each other giving it a snake like motion.  The lower white tube in his neck is for smoke from a mini smoke machine to flow through up to his head to breath out his mouth.  
Ill need to run 12 cables in all to control his neck and head but first I need to build the body.
