Based upon the pop-up children's storybook "I Wish I Could Be A Knight" by Duncan Crosbie: this automata replicates the book's classic illustration styles and brings these knights to life as they gallop around an arena jousting for their honour.

The following images are a mix of the finished automata, work-in-progress, and initial design prototypes and maquettes.
