Mkii Automaton

 I've started on the mk ii automaton. Its based on the mki and on the copper sculpture I made some time back (it's approx' twice its size). The waist pivots and I've mad two shoulder blades which are split to house the shoulder bearings/joints. It's relatively easy to build up the framework, the animation will be the tricky bit. I'll probably power it with an electric motor this time, or at least with a gearbox from a motor/gearbox assembly salvaged from my last employment.
The real challenge is to see if I can make it load the arrow, but that is probably too tricky... we'll see :-)
