The Torso is made from a drain inspection chamber that i got from a local builders merchant. It was damaged so couldnot be used for drainage .

The torso twist motor is from the junkyard , Its a window motor from some 1980s car. The air tank for the pneumatic system came from a old truck , It was the air tank for the brake system.
