Keyboard Cat
(PAPER AUTOMATA)

Author: Amy Bojo

Some authors make dozens of paper automatas and others 1-2, which is also the case here. This lady (or miss) has a page dedicated to cats, while 2 paper automatas can also be found here. The first is a cat playing the keyboard. The paper automata works nicely, I just added reinforcement to the bottom of the base and weight to the cat's paws because they wouldn't return to the bottom position due to the friction of the paper.

The Scream
(PAPER AUTOMATA)

Author: Keisuke Saka

Since it was Halloween, Keisuke Saka recently released a paper automata with a ghost. This paper automata can also be purchased on etsy.com. (pdf: 4 pages with parts + 2 pages with instructions) I did not make any adjustments, except for coloring the back side of the print (where it was visible), when gluing, everything fit and, as always with this author, and the finished machine works without problems.

Climbing Santa Bank

(I'm currently working in provisional mode on my laptop, I need to reinstall windows on my PC, which I don't have much time for now, so I'll add a video when I can)



Christmas is coming, so I will add the first paper automata - a cash register with Santa. Coins are thrown above, thanks to which Santa moves up the chimney, when the weight of the coins is sufficient, they spill down from where they can be removed and Santa moves to the lower position.
This paper automata can also be purchased digitally on etsy.com. I didn't make any adjustments, everything fit when gluing, and as always with this author, and the finished paper automata works nicely.

Nice work. RF you have a hawk eye to see those things.

I will add another Christmas paper automata - a reindeer warming up, and since it's the beginning of the year, such a warm-up would be suitable for all of us. I wish everyone good luck, health and success in the new year.
This paper automata can also be purchased digitally on etsy.com. I didn't make any adjustments, everything fit when gluing, and as always with this author, and the finished paper automata works nicely.

This one gives me a smile on my face.

Rude Moose
(paper automata)

Last time I glued a training reindeer, now I will add a rude moose.
I've been wanting to try a paper automata from COOL4CATS for a long time, and since I managed to get a couple of simpler automatas from this author cheaper before Christmas, Rude Moose is the first of them. (they also offer really complex paper automatas, but their price is quite high)
Since it is not a digital download, you have to wait a while before they deliver it from England, the automatas are printed on relatively hard paper + there is a picture guide with a description on the thin paper. It was easy to put together and the result works nicely. It's such a good mood creator, when I come home tired from work, just pull and the moose sticks out its tongue at me, I'm in a better mood right away.

Cool thing!

The wall mounted head is really excellent.

Penguin
(paper automata)

Rob Ives 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.
It's winter, so I chose his penguin slot machine. I don't have much glued from it, so it didn't stick that well, which was not helped by the photo guide, which from my point of view was not as detailed as I would have imagined... The paper automata works, it just moves a little harder, which I had to strengthen some parts movement mechanism. A few photos:

The last penguin didn't quite work the way I wanted, so I glued another one from K.Saka and this one is working nicely... A few photos:

Lovely additions to the collection!

Another paper automata from Keisuke Saka, this time it's a slightly clumsy tea serving robot.
This automata can also be purchased digitally on etsy.com. I didn't make any adjustments, everything fit when gluing, and as always with this author, and the finished automata works nicely.

That is so very cool!

Cute!

This robot looks so cute.
