Re: Hi all !!

Thanks John,

Yep ,I spraypainted the pvc ,you realy did is the hard way! ;-)
and for the eyes I bought 2 magnifying glasses and used the front
cover of a lightswitch ,with out the switch ,as a front for the eyes.
For one of the arm ends I used a pizza-knife ,you know the circular
one, and one is an old soldering iron and a little flashlight.
for the arms I used those telescopic things to keep your windows open
in a sertain position (sorry for the discription ,but I havent got a
clue how there called in English ) they are available in 3 lengths
and have great joints .
Do you have any idea what the back of the head looks like?
I would realy like to know.....
Thanks.

Aron
