Data Interrogator

Based on the Servo Skull tool from Darktide.

A creepy sculpture of a skull with mechanical robotic parts and wires, illuminated by red lighting.

This servo skull was based on the Data Interrogator tool from Warhammer 40k Darktide.

A person wearing gloves interact with a skull-like device with mechanical and electronic components, on a control panel or console with multiple screens and controls. The screen indicates an option to 'Hold [E] Plant' and 'Data-Interrogator'.

The base was a small Halloween skul. I removed the jaw, and freehanded all the little bits of attatchments. The lenses in the eyes, the plating, etc. The tubes in the side were foam dowels.

A skull sculpture with mechanical parts and hardware, set on a worktable, with wooden blocks and tools nearby.
A cluttered workbench with two plastic skulls, foam pieces, small plastic parts, a bottle of glue, and tools, likely used for crafting or model making.

The spider claws were originally made with EVA foam, but that made the too bulk and flimsy. I swapped these out for popsicle sticks and wood dowels.

At this time I also cut out an access hole at the base of the skull for LEDs and an enclosure to hold the battery pack.
