Building 4

Up til now, I've mostly building the rings which are crossections of the body at various places along the long axis. Now to cover the surface of the body, Working on the head, lots of sorting, building the tree/vine of sockets and taking pics of the prototypes.

Hammers and hammer heads are going to make up one of the longitudinal patches going from tail to head. Having them all sorted out lets me figure out what I think looks/works best.

I pick up the head every once in a while and try out some new look.

Sorting is essential for this project. In this case, hundreds of socket in 3 different drive sizes and then into similar sizes and shapes.

After all that sorting, I decided to make the longitudinal strip featuring the sockets look like some strange tree/vine of some sort. Look to the bottom of the image to see the roots of the tree ending just above the hip, going into the stems of the tree/bush.
