Making the Gin O'clock machine and final outcome

Initially, Sinae and I were going to use cardboard to make the models as it is easy to paint and shape. However, After creating my model's face out of cardboard I realized it was too heavy for the body.

to rectify the issue I tried to attach the heads to some wooden sticks however this was still unsuccessful. 

 

Sinae then suggested that we create the faces using paper and it worked. 

 one of the final decisions we made was to enable the machine to function both magnetically and manually as this will create more interaction with the audience.  The Gin o'clock machine's name originates from this idea that if the models reach 9 it can also spell 9in (Gin ) so it is a funny play on words.
