WIP - Current Status
Since returning from Europe, the project has progressed to mechanical completion, leaving the final work which include the costuming/painting of the three characters and setting the land/seascape.
Part of those, is learning how to sew costumes with a new mini sewing machine purchased from Aldi. There seems to be nothing they don't sell eventually ! Given I have zero experience with this it will be a sharp and possibly long learning curve.
Photo below is the camshaft mechanisms gears and cams,

The underside of the "stage". Photos A & B show the mechanisms installed which control the movements
actuated by the cams, levers etc above,

Thanks for looking,

"Seaside" Complete
Decided that the sewing, for this automata is beyond what it needs, or is it that it is beyond me ? A bit of both. The characters are so small that not much would be added by clothing. They are painted, the scenery is made from materials which can be sourced from hobby shops specialising in products for the railway hobbyist.
The size of the work, 460 W 260 D 350 H
Video to follow.

Thanks very much Keith ! I see you have been busy with the loco. The closeups are really good at highlighting the workmanship, ahem, not unusual for you mate. I hear from friends how bored they are with the current restrictions, but, interestingly, not willing to learn/try something new to change circumstances/themselves. How fortunate are we, there is a friendly workshop calling us daily.....
Keep safe !
