I was browsing around the net and came across an awesome site with Kinetic Art machines by David C. Roy http://www.woodthatworks.com/ David makes these awesome wooden models that work. This is my interpretation of one of David's models and not meant to be a direct copy. I have added and changed a couple of things. Modelled in MoI. Materials and rendering in Cinema 4D. The 5 strings going around the pulleys are curves in MoI. These were imported into Cinema 4D as Adobe Illustrator curves. I then used Circle Profile splines and Sweepnurbs objects to add thickness. This machine looks cool when animated. You can see David's real working machine at his site. I have animated my version and you can download the animation here. (Zipped QT 16mb)

Modelled with my new Nurbs modelling program MoI (Moment of Inspiration), exported to C4D where I applied materials and rendered it out. I highly recommend this program for anyone wanting to add a Nurbs modeller to their tool set. I'm still getting the hang of nurbs modelling so there's a few visible imperfections in the model.

Cartoon Spitfire. About 4-5 hours work in this.

A Spitfire Mk V. I modelled this for my BodyPaint DVD. On the DVD I show how to UV Map and paint the Spitfire.

Space Pod from the Hitch-hikers guide to the Galaxy movie.

Cartoon Space Shuttle

Modelled this over a weekend to help someone who needed a model for an advert.

I made this for the Cafe's Cartoon Spaceship Challenge. This is based upon an actual toy.
