I've added one final touch to the model before we start milling. We had an idea to allow the Sunflower to tilt and follow the sun: the flower itself is attached to a wooden base, which then rests on a large arc. The arc acts as both a support and a pivot, with holes like those in the arm pivots for adjustability.
Ideally, it should allow the flower to follow the sun through most of its journey through the sky. I'm not entirely sure the arc can support the weight of the whole flower, but we'll see. It's not the most critical of components at the moment – what good is something to mount a Sunflower when one doesn't have a Sunflower; needless to say, we're going to focus on making the Sunflower first.
