OK, so here's where I am so far. I spent the weekend banging around Skip's head, figuring out where everything had to go. It took forever, of course. I got a working mechanism for Skip's mouth finished.
All I need to do is finish painting the jaw, add the teeth and tongue to the jaw and permanently attach the jaw to the head. Then I can cut the permanent linkage rods from brass. After that I can install Skip's eyes and their control rod, and then figure out where on the headstick I want the eye control. After that I cut the permanent headstick, run the controls through it and cap the end. Once the mechanics are done I can finish painting the head and hands then that will be that, I can finish the assembly. Thank God. I know he'll be relieved.
I am seriously thinking of making Skip his own MySpace page when he's finished. Kind of sad, aint it?
