New modelling project taking up all my time

Sorry I've not done much to update this blog lately. My girlfriend and I have recently embarked on a joint project to accurately model human figures in approximately 1/4 scale - although I think they will probably come in a little bigger than that when they are finally finished. As you will be able to see, if you follow the link in the title, we have a lot to do just to get the two prototypes finished. Hopefully after the initial sculpt it will become easier to work on the details and I'll find time to get back to my other projects. For now the new venture is something of a labour of love and so I'll be devoting most of my free time to it.

Plans for the finished articles involve a mechanism to accurately replicate real human eating and sleeping behaviour. As it stands at the moment we are having trouble getting this right, but I have hopes for success in the not two distant future. Another three months should see something workable. After that I am toying with the idea of some form of speech recognition and maybe even walking motion.
