Anon. is now in pieces - prep for Dremel attack v.nearly finished... He's staring wistfully at the pile of parts that make up his body right now. Gods it's so hard finalising sexy male android line designs - it kept swinging between *ahem* Jude Law in AI style and Iron Man - getting that balance so it's not a mecha but an android without veering into gigolo territory - sheesh. Even now I'm not 100% on the navel area and it's had weeks
Edit: And as for the EL illumination plans - well it's a good thing I'd held off from buying anything until after I'd finalised lines. I think I'll be able to get away with 1 set of panelling and 1 short-ish length of wire. The real risk will be space-related.
I'm gonna get 2 battery pack types - 1 small and 1 of the slightly larger more standard types that take AAAs (by the EU sizings), I really really hope the teeny battery pack will fit in the chest compartment so I can have 2 separate circuits going - otherwise there's going to be some really risky wiring (Not dangerous - just at a v.v.high risk of breakage when attempting restringing and possible issues with reduced mobility) running between the lower and upper torso.
From the scale of the bjd I think I'll need one small A5-sized EL panel (with electrode trim all the way around to allow it to be separated out) and "fairy-hair" sized EL wire since standard EL wire would look too thick at 1/3 scale.
