Markus' H015 from cardboard

[Markus]

The next step is the construction of the neck (which features some lights) and the mount for the head. I decided to make the head removable so I can access the electronics through the opening in the neck. From the movie it does not become clear on which sides of the droid the lights in the neck are placed - I decided to put them on the front and on the left and right sides. In the movie, the lights in the neck appear to be blue (at 20:58). In another scene (at 1:36:24) they also seem to be red. Although this might be some reflection, I decided to use red and blue lights for my H015 (I am using RGB LEDs where only the red and blue elements are connected).
The neck construction starts with two layers of cardboard which are glued to the body. To those, I glue some white transparent plastic (taken from a gallon bottle of vinegar) to diffuses the light of the individual LEDs. Five more layers of cardboard are added to provide support for the head.
