Getting control


Charlie 10 has been a challenge. He is the last of the group who will have eyes retro-fitted. He's a cute character face, but he's been a tough little dude to build. Of course, he's still got a ways to go, but I think he'll turn out fine. He probably won't have self-centering eyes, but his eyes will work smoothly side-to-side. As you can see, he's being fitted for his control post. I expect that he'll be finished in a couple of weeks at the latest.

Charlie 9, pictured below, will be the first (actually second if you count Miss Sheila) who will have springs instead of wood dowel posts in the back of the eyes. This is a much easier way to make self-centering eyes.
