Cottoneye- Moe: animatronic scarecrow mask

Heyho dear community :-)
I want to share a personal project which i did just for fun.
I was wondering, how scarecrow masks are made and a research showed me, that only burlap and epoxyresin are needed.
So i did a rough WED sculpture:

.... overlayed it with burlap straps and polyester- resin:

... damped a few acrylics on:


...and installed an arduino controlled eye with a single miniservo. The eye is attached to the servo directly and the servo is hotglued on the backside of the cheekbone.
I started with the animatronic stuff a few weeks ago and this is my first attempt to use animatronics in some way.
Really happy with the result- i love it,... i love my hobby and my decision to start with it. Could do that for the rest of my life
Hope you like it and maybe it inspires to try different things ;-)
