Tin Automata by Andy Hazel
Automata maker, Andy Hazell works with recycled tin to create automata that are often inspired by the actions of daily living.Working with sheet metal must employ some of the same techniques as working with paper, though I cannot speak from personal experience. The figures seem to take a similar form in both media.
I like how you can often see the mechanisms above the platforms on which the characters stand.
Here is a link to the craft2eu Gallery in Germany that shows and sells his work.

I heard that the european gallery for arts & crafts craft2eu has now launched an englisch website you can access via www.craft2eu.com
Mel,
Thanks for the tip! That is a great web site -- showing the work of many fine automaton-makers (and other types of artists).
Cheers,
Dug
Thats right! And the woman who is running craft2eu is Mrs. Schnuppe von Gwinner. She is a professional - in this business for years - and very helpful when in comes down european arts an crafts! But notice that her business is runnig on CET / Central European Time.
