the last couple of days I have been working really hard to try to finish the anxiety prosthesis in time for my presentation in class today. Here’s link dump of my progress. Generally, I put it all together, moving from sewing the two pieces together to screwing them together, adding grommets to route the bunches of thread that will control the hackles into, replacing the pulleys with very tall eyelets, and making eyelets that will route the thread over the shoulders into the grommet holes. Overall, it’s been pretty successful, but needs some fine tuning to have it work well while being worn. I like the action and motion a lot though. Video is coming.

Bonus shot of me testing the fit in the bathroom.

finished the sewing up of the boxes. took some glamour shots. The next step is to make a pocket-sized controller for the xbee and then it’s done! whew!

(besides calibrating and testing the lighting and stuff like that, but i want to have my little victories)
