About this product

Product Information

A bravura display of imagination by Rob Ives has produced this delightful collection of working automata to cut out and make. As you operate the mechanisms, the Hopping Sheep hop energetically and the Pecking Hen pecks keenly into its feeder. The rather sad Motley Man bows and acknowledges the applause he has earned and while The Flying Fish does not actually fly, it does flap its wings and undulate in a delightfully unexpected manner. Each of the mechanisms uses a different principle to generate motion, so this book is of special interest to those who like to see what remarkable things can be achieved with paper.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.

  • 4 models for the price of 2, but not for beginners.....

    Paper modeling isnt for everyone, for those of us who build paper models we all agree that it quickly becomes an addiction. This book comes with 4 models printed on quality photo type paper ready to cut out and glue. Each piece is clearly marked with letters/numbers that are referenced in written instructions. Each model has a different mechanism used for its animation, so while your having fun constructing your learning too. All the models are colored with only primary colors which I dont like. There are no illustrations to go along with the instructions. The instructions need to be more detailed or have illustrated examples for visual reference. The animation on a couple of models was very disappointing after all the cutting and confusion over instructions. Paper Automata isnt a ...

  • Paper Automata by Rob Ives

    My husband builds automata and I got it as a springboard for ideas. Good book for older teens who enjoy building mechanical items. Kind of basic. There is a more challenging book written by Paul Spooner. I can't remember the name. My husband was happily challenged by the contents, and built everything. So the book doesn't exist anymore in our house.
