So that didn’t work out.
The next big step is over engineering the mofo. Hopefully this’ll work. Larger wheel with 20 1/2 inch bolts to secure the mold. It takes about 2 days to print each quarter section and I have 4 more to go to get a set of two wheels.
THEN I can cast her new skin.

Been doing a weight check on my mounts and it’s held up the base structure so far.
Now I added the skin from Mina 1.0 to see how this extra weight holds.

So making Mina isn’t all artsy fartsy making a dinosaur. I have to design custom things for processing too.
So… I designed a rig that will hold her mold so I can spin it freely as I pour her silicone skin cast.
Big step y’all! Big step!

I’m at the do stuff and wait part with Mina. You’ll never guess what I’m working on next.

Cleaned up her teeth. Now I’m gonna see if I can attach her snout and jaw and inside skins.

There’s always an “ugly” phase in art where you’re not sure if it’s gonna come together.
I think I’m on Mina’s 4th ugly phase.

We’re in the downhill stretch if I’m painting.
Fun fact: I’ve never done this before either.
This is called psycho paint because you have to be a psycho to paint with it.
It’s silicone paint and it has to be tinted with pigment separately and applied in a zillion layers.

Did my first wall mounting test to see if she holds. She does!! Her jaw is printing and that’ll take a couple more days and I have to wait on material for other things. But she’s finally coming along.

I know it’s been crazy. And to be fair I’ve only decided to make her an animatronic in the last couple weeks.

Thank you! 💜 It’s what I’m shooting for. Hopefully in a week I’ll have her ready to be moving and talking. Once all that is sorted then I can work on her skin. Then with the magic of paint and glue she’ll really look alive!

Every day I’m grinding away and never really feels like I’m making progress.
But her upper teeth are in. This is the old skin just got a fit test. I’m working on the inside of her mouth and throat and tongue as well as getting her brain sorted.
She better be perfect when I’m done!!

I was fiddling with her eye movement behavior and as a goof I thought I’d also see how her eyelid blinking affects her skin and I found out that her eyelid mucks up her eye sculpt. So she may not blink but that eye looking around is gonna look real and ferocious.

This jumbled mess is her brain. I kept adding more and more and more. Soon she’s going to have behaviors and mannerisms and react to things. And this isn’t even ALL her neat little mechanisms plugged in.

I had a freaking breakthrough! I didn’t know how loud I could make her. I thought she’d sound weak and fake.
Hell no.
Turn the sound up and keep in mind she’s gonna have two speakers. This is just one with the volume BARELY turned up.

I knew they’d cave. They always do.
I’ve always said republicans are heartless and democrats are spineless. Both parties never fail that perspective.

If you believe that Dem leadership is fighting for you, ask them what they did when the Supreme Court took away the human rights of 50% of the nation, when two thirds of Americans disagreed with the Court’s decision, and we had the presidency. More than 3 years later. Ask how they’ve fought.

MTG seems to be saying all the right things lately. I can't decide if she's sincere & turning over a new leaf or if she's trying to tone down her rhetoric for a future gubernatorial run. Only time will tell.
You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like
You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools
As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.

So I’ve been learning odontology. I think I’ve found the perfect combination to crate teeth that can scatter light as if it’s showing the separation of enamel and dentin.
If they were solid, Mina wouldn’t look real and she’s gotta look real!

The left has conditioned you to associate the name 'Soros' with conspiracy theories. They even tried to paint the late Magdalene Burns as an antiSemite when she drew attention to his links to political troonery. Calling me a bigot is how @F Politics_ earns his keep.
blaming jews for the existence of trans ppl is nazism. like the nazis actually did that. that’s literally why they started burning books.

So I guess it’s taken me about 2 weeks to learn animatronics and some engineering.
Next update will be a painted one with hopefully a better looking eyeball and cooler movements.
