Now the fun begins!

The hard part is over - these "cereal box puppets" are finished with mechanics installed and tested. Both the eyes and the mouth open and close from control levers in the back. Only now can I glue the cereal box covers into place which finishes everything off. What's all the black on their wooden faces? Just black paint to hide the fresh cut wood edges of the plywood. Much easier to paint before the unit is covered.
