Adding details to body and legs

Here come the last details which are added to the body and the legs. To smooth the edges where the cardboard was glued at the bottom, I am adding eight pieces of cardboard to the corners. These hide the overlaps, and they provide some nice additional structure.

While there is plenty of detail on the front side of my robot, the back side is still empty. Therefore I am adding three LEDs in a recessed mount (as used for the photo sensors and the microphones and also for the ultrasonic sensors).

Finally, the legs are still a little boring. I am adding a few curved pieces of thin wood to the upper part, and a few strips of cardboard to the feet, all painted black.

Those were the last parts of the body – now it’s time for more layers of white and black paint and glossy coating.
