IntermediateWork in progress636

Things used in this project

Clear plastic disks

For the spine segments

Speedometer Cable

For the spine itself

Fishing line

For pulling the tail/tentacle

Work in progress

Speedometer cable seems fine for something drooping like a tail, but I want the tentacles rising upwards. Even adding extra cabling to pull it up statically, it still not great.
Will look into using vinyl tubing for spine on next prototype.
