Animatronic Head

Computer controlled animatronic head. My first proper atempt at animatronics, before this i'd only done a set of eyes! It has a fiber-glass core, silicone skin and glass eyes. SSC32 servo controller board runs the 7 servos. the blue flashes are LEDs under the skin.......anyone thinking it has "rabbit teeth" its just the perspex stand showing through from behind the mouth as there is no backing to the mouth. The teeth are moulded and and cast directly from the live model so are actually highly realisitic.

What is the skin made of?

@TheJoker298

Made from Silicone. This particular skin is made from a product called "Dragonskin" from "smooth-on", and relaxed out with "Slacker". Then hand painted with tinted silicone.

ya'know its really cool, but what the heck is with the rabbit teeth?

@Madalyne4885

Thats not the teeth, thats the perspex stand that holds the head showing through from behind the mouth. The teeth are actually completely normal and where also cast from the models real teeth.
