Clever idea. Not sure why not many people comment.

Yeah, it is entertaining. I really like Theo’s wind beasts. Putting the kit together was interesting as it really shows you how it all works together.

I have to say that I wondered what was a Strandbeest; thanks google! Really interesting! I always feel like I’m learning a piece of history with your projects since I can discover creators, artists, etc. First Shannon and now Jansen, thank you @demej00 :+1:

Thanks Mariane. You are always very supportive. Love watching all those feet moving on the Strandbeesty.

I went solar, With a 5v solar panel, 4000uf capacitor, 6v motor with tiny gear and wire ties you can make one yourself. Hers’s a video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mr73fakakuj6z3b/StrandBeest.mp4?dl=0. I’d show more pics but my grandson has it now.
