Lil' Thunder, 8" (TV remote control, electric motor casings, copy machine spring, plastic propeller, etc.) Inspired by an late 50s tin toy called "Thunder Robot", this little guy can't wait to grow up to be like daddy. Lil' Thunder is the result of my wife bringing home a co-worker's leftover TV remote with the query, "Can your goofy husband make a robot out of this?" "Hah!" I laughed, "bring me something that's a challenge!" Actually, the remote had a bonus feature. I tend not to add active electronics to my sculptures because of the problem of where to hide the batteries without affecting the over all design. The TV remote already has a built in battery box! How cool is that?
