Second Plans for the Live Stick

Here are my second plans for the live stickman statue. After the group presentation and a couple comments by Matt and Mark, I decided to work on a more pose-able statue, a bit like a giant action figure (to avoid using the word "doll"). The statue would be more versatile and could have many many scenario uses, and would allow to take the statue to more public places.

There are quite a few logistical problems, but I have also come up with solutions. First of, I think the articulation is quite simple, although it would be nice to have a rotation in the upper arm of the statue, allowing for more diverse poses. A screw mechanism for the arm rotation needs more research in the "technology", or should I say by a few visits to the hardware store.

As good news, the whiteboard option is really simple: rolls of disposable whiteboard are available for about £20 for 25. This will allow for a very easy creation of the speech bubble, and my new addition, a whiteboard face!

I plan to use whiteboard for the face of the stickman in order to be able to modify his facial expression, once again to allow for much more manoeuvrability.
