I reached into the archives and glued another nice automaton by Keith Newstead, pasted from the original without modification, I just had moving eyes left after one 3D puzzle, which I quite liked with this surfing dog, so I used them... A few of photos:

Another automation from Rob Ives, who is one of the prominent authors of kinetic models. A few of his things can be downloaded from the Canon site, but at the moment far more of his stuff can be found on the Brother site. It also has its pages.
This time I glued the automaton of the running fox, the automaton works, it just moves a little harder than I had to strengthen some parts of the movement mechanism. A few photos:

Another automaton by Keisuke Saka that can be bought on Etsy. This is probably my first ball automaton with an interesting gear and belt transmission. Built with no modifications except that I printed the back of the parts so I didn't have to retouch so much the white areas that would be visible...
