This precision triggerfish is made mostly of resistors, wires clipped from said resistors, transformer wire and camera & watch parts. A few parts to note: the silver 'diamond' texture making up the cheek is a piece of reflector from a vintage strobe light for a handheld camera. The lower belly is defined by a scapel blade from my workbench. The gold-plated circular part defining the eye cavity is part of a slip ring mechanism from the dial of a camera.
