Today is a "manufacturing" day. I set up an assembly line of vent figure parts and mechanics to prepare and assemble. So I'm drilling holes in wood eyeballs, painting them with a coat of primer, and drilling holes in eye trays and painting them black. I'm also cutting slots in PVC control posts to accommodate the eye control rod. I'll also drill the cord and lever holes. This isn't the most fun part of making figures, but after making 6-10 sets of items, the rest of figure building becomes much more fun.
Now back to the grind.
