And finally, this guy has his arms and eyes mounted.  The eyes were a small triumph that is difficult to get at this stage.  They are tiny VU meters custom mounted in machined aluminum housings behind magnifying lenses.  Once finished I hope to have them glowing blue and have the little needles pulse like eyelashes.  A bottom set of teeth now exist that make him look a little less stupid, but I feel he still needs a bit more “edge” before I am totally satisfied with his personality.

Next up is an ugly little beastie that will soon sport actual dried chicken feet for hands (yuck).  I’m still a little alarmed at how cute the bakelite robot is turning out (see below) so I suppose this is an attempt at balance.  Next week I hope to mount some green LED’s inside the wooden case so that he appears to be floating in some kind of fluid tank.

This one began as an old electric drill.  I was taken by the lightning bolt cast into its surface.  Turned upside down a face reveals itself.  I have been dealing with a lot of migraines lately and decided that the lightning bolt would imply a robot with similar troubles.  I have since fashioned a Jacobs Ladder into what is now the top of its head.

A high voltage arc now travels up the electrodes in the glass dome on top of his head by way of an old neon sign transformer.  I hope next to build him a wooden box with a crank that he will operate making it  seem as though he is generating his own condition for himself, not unlike his father.
