Teef iz in place!
There we go!
By tomorrow afternoon I hope to have a circuit in hand that I can wire into the head to power the LEDs and flickering light. I'm actually thinking that I should revise the flickering red light from a grotpit light to a 'flamer' light, if it's suitable.. providing a bit of a glowing flicker from inside the jaws where the flamer is tucked away to indicate the 'pilot light' on the thing burning.
I also plan on putting small panes of clear plasticard in the eyes so that I can sand the surface of them a bit and get them to diffuse the light form the LEDs behind it. I think I'm going to hinge the jaw, as well, as it just looks cool to play around with opening and closing it.
It'd be cool to open the jaws up when I'm using the flamer anyway. I made the eyes the same square shape.. I considered mismatching them, but it just looked silly and trivialized the face's meanness. The rest of the model's comedy, and the head draws a lot of attention, so I want it to read as ferocious.
