That motion could animate so many different types of actions. I see a trio of tap dancers.
That would be cool! I sometimes just just operate a mechanisms and look at it moving then try to imagine what would fit on the top of the mechanism. I'm sure it looks like I've gone off in a daze but I'm actually thinking hard. Honest. - RI
Personally, I would have modeled it in 3D CAD, but I know Rob is a "hands on" kinda guy, and it is nice to see the various working stages of the prototype.
yes its not as easy at seems to move multiple cranks with one handle i was working on something where i wanted to move 2 cranks with one handle but im trying it using the belt drive mechanism .
instead of with a gear system.
also is the 3 man row boat going to be an up comeing model because im sure it would be a great model for us to make.
Thank you Rob for the detailed instructions how to work with "Map-a-planet" and "flexify2"
I have integrated the download of "Flexify" as a plug-in in my image editor (PSE) . It's fun to try something with it. Unfortunately, only a trial for 30 days.
this isnt very hard project to make but it will use up a bit of time with about a zillion score lines and tabs=)~~ maybe i exaggerated maybe rob can make the other planets and we can have a paper solar system
It really does take *ages* to score and stick! - RI
Very nice conjunction of two wonderful models from our master, Rob Ives. Michael surprised again. Congratulations, Michael. Your recreations amaze for your creativity.
Utter and firm genius.

Fantastic, Rob! Before I forget: row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. :)
Ha ha, Rob is getting merry!
Dream on.

For us, when it is done, it is only one time though (with added surety and peace of mind.)
So yes, it is nice to see...

This is 'unlike' sketching and erasing - you have to build paper parts and build them again.
So exciting to see into your process here!

I particularly liked this post!
It is an attractive model. Well placed in the picture with a starry shirt.
Here's something along similar lines of projecting onto a 3D object.

Thank you so much this is perfect as I gave it to a depressed friend and it perked her right up! Love your art style, keep up the great work. :D
You're welcome :-) - RI

good stuff
Thanks a lot for this post Rob - You Rule!!
Can't wait to see this new tutorial...
Rob's pitch at global domination!
Have a nice weekend, Rob. Your paper world is magnific! :)
Would welcome Mr. White's sinister visage to our humble home.

great work michael!
there is a walter ruffler model with a very similiar movement i posted a you tube video of it here
the model is in his book paper models that move
here is a link to the book on amazon
Thank you and congratulations for 1000 blog entries on this unique paper engineering website.
pleas, put my name in the hat.
I wish that i will win... :)

Bob the dog could be as popular as Bob the Builder! Put my name in the hat!
