Been working on my 2013 big project for the past few months, this is the result so far...!
This is for my wearable animatronic suit based on Flammie from Square's Seiken densetsu franchise.
Twin wing array, with cable controlled animatronic wings. Folded, the wingspan is around 4 to 5 foot, outstretched they reach almost 12 foot.
Each set of wings is controlled by a pull mechanism that is strapped to the wearer's hands.
The wings are counter balanced with springs at the moment, but I'm likely to change that to bungee elastic, as I keep stretching the springs out. The feathers and wing shapes are just stand ins for now, while I make the 50+ feathers that reach up to 2 foot in length!

I'll try to remember to do a vid before I skin it, though without the weight of the feathers it skews the balance a little and doesn't make them return quite as well.
The actual controller is based on a hybrid of the Winston and Henson ways of doing such things, which are connected to extended brake cables. Though my final one will have additional controls for blink and possibly jaw if I need to servo control that.
