Skunks catches another one, this time at this gamers forum. It's a clockwork tiger, created by this gent in Belgium, whose "about me" page is a lone image:

The tiger actually does walk, albeit a bit awkwardly. See the creator riding it here:

It reminds me of the Canard Digérateur and less more so of the Mechanical Turk

Yup, I'd be happy to ride that home from the supermarket. Where do I sign up?

Yum, I guess chocolate isn't the only thing in Belgium that's yummy...

Oh, and the tiger is pretty sweet.

Tiger must not mind being ridden, she's purring like a motor.
Is there a clip of him riding the mechanical woman in the center picture?:haha:

I was hoping that was what it was. Is that Tiger ( in the book) real?

Yes. It's in a London museum.

If this thing ever gets a theme song, I hope its "Eye of the Timex".
