If you've ever wanted to build moving toys, mechanical displays, or whimsical automata, this book is your perfect starting point. How to Make a Motorized Tightrope with Circus Performers shows you exactly how to create a fully motorized tightrope act complete with four daring performers who balance, wobble, and glide as the motor rocks the rope beneath them.
You'll learn how to:
- Build a reliable teeter-totter motor system
- Shape and assemble four unique circus characters
- Use counterweights and balance tricks to make each performer move convincingly
- Paint and finish your figures for a polished, professional look
