WIP - Nearing completion
The prototype is peppered with revisions. Holes, openings, cable routings, etc, a normal process of getting things working right, much fun was had in the process.
The occupant of the wheel now has a head, feet and hands,

The Camshaft completed,

Nearest the camera - Input gear, mouse head cam, mouse control cam, mouse "door" cam, leg/arm movement pin drive, leg/arm movement cam.
The mouse makes an appearance,

The last thing to make is a method of revealing the mouse, which has eluded me now for days....
Once solved, the protoype is disassembled, finishes to everything, clothes for the runner - how does a non tailor make that ?
Thanks for watching,
Gus

WIP - Mouse Wheel Completed
Some photos of the completed work, which I have renamed "The Treadmill". The earlier post remains, though I wanted to delete it since it appeared as a new project, without success.
