echanical Designer & Photographer Andrew Chase is already known for his mechanical animals through his “Timmy” underworld project and the latest addition to his collection is this stunning-looking robotic cheetah. The Cheetah will join other mechanical animals, a giraffe and elephant: “Before I started this latest project, I promised myself that this time, things will be different. I shall remember history, I will learn from the excesses of  my past. I will build it small, I will build it light, and above all, I will build it quickly. I failed on all three counts. Dismally. Ah well, as the great sage Dirty Harry often said, “a man’s got to know his limitations.” The cheetah measures 24″ high and 50″ nose to tail and weighs about 40 pounds. She’s constructed out of electrical conduit, transmission parts and 20-gauge steel. The collection of mechanical animals was created using an assortment of recycled automobile and plumbing parts. Each fully articulated animal takes between 80 and 120 hours to complete. Andrew is a self-employed commercial photographer, furniture maker, welder as well as a highly talented assemblage artist.
