This wooden automata model built by my dad depicts a good old-fashioned Wild West shootout. It took him several weeks to design and build from scratch. The model incorporates a Geneva wheel mechanism he was eager to have a go at. An interesting feature is the chicken which appears to move up and down as if by magic, in actual fact driven by a magnet within the wall.

  • @henrycems It’s all my dads work (sorry, I was a bit late with the description). His passion has always been guns and the Wild West. I used to go target shooting with him when I was younger but after the Dunblane massacre guns here in the UK were banned and it killed the sport overnight.

  • Oh I like this the old West is great the guns of the old West is what got me in to gun smithing in the first place. Did you make or paint this?
