Let there be lights

I used white LED christmas lights for in the body. I used theses because they are quick and safety tested in case I made any mistakes wiring EVE up myself.

The small hole near the top of EVE is for the metal pole that will hold her to a wall.

Time to paint

After back frosting the neck bowl it was attached to the body. Then everything was filled were needed and sanded lightly to smooth the whole surface.
I cut and access panel in the back of the body so I would be able to put the lights in.
Using the laser cutter I cut shapes for the neck lights and eyes and stuck them on the neck bowl and face panel.
I coated the head and body in a lot of pure white cellulose paint. I didnt use a lacquer to create the shine, instead I built up lots of layers of the paint and afterwards polished it up using Micromesh. This worked really well as this meant if a Eve got a slight scratch it could be touched up or polished out easily.
The face panel was sprayed black on the front (after masking the eyes) and backsprayed transluscent blue. The head was also lined with foil for when the lights are put in.

Body and Neck Bowl

After fitting the arm indents in the body, I lined the inside with foil so when the lights are put in the light will be reflected towards the neck.
The neck bowl was vacuum formed and cut to fit the neck. This stage was quite tricky as the neck hole isnt a perfect shape, it has some difficult angles.
