How I made it: chickenhaunt.bl... Golden Fertility Idol statue from Raiders of the Lost Arc with animatronic eyes, like the original prop. www.jasperjanderson.com
Any chance of getting the files for the mechanism? I have been wanting to do something like this myself, but have held out on finishing the idol as I am still a Fusion360 novice. It would be nice to not have to reinvent the wheel if it already exists. :-D I have been playing with the thought of an axle to the bottom with magnets on the end. That way the electronics (servo) could be hidden in a base/stand, and the idol can be picked up and be completely sealed.
@@jasperjanderson That's OK. :-) It inspired me to pick up Fusion 360 again, and I have now made my own version that I have installed into the idol. Currently working on sanding and filling to get it smooth; it is completely encased with no visible mechanism parts (except the eyes themselves, of course). :-)
So cool. Wish they would release the deleted scene of the eyes following Indiana as he makes his way toward the idol.
did you carve the idol or modify one that was cast from mold online? We have been looking for one but they can be pricey. Love the moving eyes! =)
Hollywood Haunter I put a link in the description to my blog post on it.
Sweet, awesome job, thanks Jasper!

Normally I'd say yes, but I'd want to make some changes before I put this mech out into the world. There are many ways I'd do it differently now.
