BathTime is a automaton representing a man in his bath, scratching his back with his brush.
Colorful bricks surrounding him inside the bathtub give him envy to whistle in his bath while washing.
This truly awesome build is another masterpiece from TonyFlow76, inspired by one of his preferred wooden automata, "The spaghetti eater" by Paul Spooner.
The plumbing at the base of the automaton is hiding a complex mechanism which animates the bubbles in the bath, the moves of the character head, the water that comes out of the taps and the arm holding the brush.
The presentation video reveals some of the hidden secrets from this build, but still, the motion of the scene is definitely breath-taking.
TonyFlow76, designer from this MOC, had to use all of his building talent for the shape of the bath, but also to make sure that the "water" is not jamming the mechanism
TonyFlow76 and Polo, from Planet GBC website, have once again joint forces to propose building instructions to people aiming to reproduce this fantastic automaton
