I went to the hardware store and got some measurements. Then I 'build' the frame considering the size of actual planks and boards I can buy. The I build the desired shape of the body in organica and simplified the model. In this animation you see how it will (hopefully) all fit together. My plan is now, to bind pvc pipes (at the right lengths) together with tape, skin them with chickenwire and put a thin layer of paper-mache and ultra-light clay on top of that for scales.
As you can see I had to change some stuff around to fit everything in the desired shape. The cage-gear thingy that I copie from Leonardo da Vinci is no longer a cage, but more like an angled gear (I do hope this will be strong enough). However, this will be a lot easier to make and will cause a lot less friction (and weight) than the gears I had in the first attempt at making the frame/body..
The weight is distributed a little unevenly, but Yoris should also have a sound-device, and my smoke machine, so that will probably even things out a little.
