Hugo Metal Man

[Jarvis B]

I saw the movie Hugo and just loved the Metal man prop , You can't buy one that I know of so I started my own .
Got a ways to go .

I was wondering if anyone was going to tackle this...

That looks cool. That’s a great start are you going to try to make the whole thing or just the bust. Did you go to the prop maker’s site and see the making of video. They say 2 of them actually work.
If interested, started a group thread to make the notebook and post it so any one can copy their own.
