Giant Kinetic Robot sculpture from recycled and found materials

Step 2 Early adjustments

While the proportions of the body parts were working out, I just didn't think that the head was quite right. Then I came across a Mercury outboard boat motor that fit the bill nicely, once it was cut down a bit and the paint was removed. The basic facial features where already present and just needed embellishing. I used the wheel wells from a vacuum cleaner for eyes to get things rolling. yet another boat motor eventually presented itself as the back of the head. These forms complimented each other nicely, but required a lot of patch work with stock aluminum sheet. A tiny chunk from a meat grinder provided a chin, bike pedal treads for teeth. A piece of red fiberglass from an exit sign was mounted behind the eyes and mouth. A standard light fixture provides the glow.
