Dare I suggest putting in CMUcam2+ into the head to control head pan/tilt - could make it follow objects around and really freak people out :D

CMUcam2+ has target tracking and servo controller in built - not bad for a 2.5inch squared PCB.

What made you choose plasti-kote spray paint?

I'm deciding on what to use for my PSU test spray and looked at plasti-kote. I've also looked at halfords car paints as well - any reccomendations?

Id happily recommend the Halfords spray paints, Ive used loads in the past and always had good results. Its touch dry in 20 mins tops so theres less chance of any dust landing in it.

Looking really good :) , if you want it to look like the pic you posted in the first page of this thread you could put a few coats of clear lacquer over the top of your paint to get a high gloss. Would also protect the paint from chips and scratches. It looks satin in the pic, which does look very nice and the silver rivet looks great next to the white paint.
 
No reson why I chose the plasti coat stuff really. Its what they had in B&Q, and they have a large range of colours, as well as matching pots for touch ups.

Yeah, I probably should, and will put a few layers of laquer over the top. Im still not sure if I want the inside gloss though as it would show up defects really easily, so I would have to mask it all off again.

Ive ordered a few more parts now. Ive managed to get hold of some really small ball and socket joints. I thought I was going to have to import them from America, but managed to get them from the UK in the end. Ive also ordered a pci riser card, and a bluetooth dongle(So my phone will automatically connect to the thing :) )

Word to your mother homes' :p
My mum keeps calling her Eugine due to the marking on her backside. Not sure I like it too much though. I probably should have some silly acronym that makes a name or something.

Edit; Just though of one... Special Autonomous Reconnaissance Android

Looking good, definetly wants a laquer coat on the outside though.
I think most painters would say do the white first and then cover it up well. Since it will be hard to cover black with white. Although you're not really painting two colours on the same surface, which should make things easier for you.

Are you going to polish the exposed rivets?
 
how did this get on page 2 I ask you?
thats no good, its the weekend and no-ones bugging for updates
EXCEPT ME!

Your too kind. ;)

I might get a bit more filling and sanding done this weekend. Not likely to get much visible work done though, as im waiting on some decent 5mm alu sheet. I need this to finish the chest plate off, which will go up into the throat area and be what i screw the neck 'pistons' into. Once thats done, I can count most of the construction work as completed. Then its painting and electronics to go.

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat!
 
No updates at the moment im afraid. I won't be doing any work this weekend either as i'll be at the OCUK Newcastle meet. At the moment im really waiting on my dad to 'liberate' a small sheet of 4-5mm alu off work. I need it to finish off the rib cage, but it will also form the mounting bracket for the neck pistons.
