A Flying Reindeer project for you to make! Turn the handle and the red nosed reindeer flies through the air!

#STEAMjunk Flying Reindeer

The Flying Reindeer project comes as a downloadable pdf with fully illustrated instructions showing you step by step how to make the model.

Paid subscribers to this newsletter can download the pdf now at the bottom of this newsletter.

Instructions for construction

The project is in two parts, the reindeer and the mechanism. Build them separately or together. The reindeer makes a cute festive ornament in its own right.

Pom pom Reindeer

The mechanism can be used to drive a variety of character based automata projects or as an exercise in pure mechanism. Use it as the starting point for your own automata projects

Crank Slider Mechanism

This project is also available to download on my website www.robives.com Members of the website can download it for free there. Check out the reindeer on robives.com

If you are an annual paid subscriber to the newsletter and would like your membership of robives.com upgrading to the premium version for free please contact me and I’ll sort it out for you.
