Besides that bit of news, I've done something new with one of my Drossels, nothing really original, this modification's seen almost everywhere by now. The thing about this was it was impromptu. I didn't even think about this after work today, and after looking through dannychoo.com at some entries, I realized how easy and simple this is to do! I also went a different route than just starting with raw materials.
Drossel...
Drossel Lite!! Same great robot for half the....something (Eh What?)
Image taken with minimal lights in my room...
And now with no lights on.
Since I'm not that good with electrical stuff, it would've been much more difficult to do this with the raw mats. So what I did was picked up a cheap mini LED light, those small reading lights and just took it apart. Total budget for this was $1.39. Not being good with electrical stuff, but good at deconstructing and reusing, I made the backpack out of the light's battery casing. And duct taped all around it to secure the batteries (small watch batteries used BTW).
Made a strap to secure it around her chest. One flaw I made was that the pack now blocks the peg hole for her stand, so I had to dedicate one of the grips from my di:stage's for her. Eh, since I have a bunch; It's not like I'm going to use all the grips at the same time...
A look at the wiring connecting to the LED inside her head. There's a big enough space behind the neck peg that allows for a small LED to be placed in. So, if anyone else is daring to try doing this also, there is no worrying about permanently "scar"ing their Drossel Figma in any way!I was originally planning doing this with a red LED, but since I'm quite inexperienced in this, it was better to currently go with what was available. Maybe later on I'll make more packs with different lights.
Well that's that. Enjoy and see you next entry!
