Sorry Gang! I just found the "Insert Image" button! I thought I had to post each time! Good Lord! This is going to be a mixed up mess! Like I said previously, bear with me! I'm learning! LOL!
Ok, back to business! Another question I had was using the Zutter or Cinch binding wires for Tim's Light Bulbs on the head.
I used the 5/8 binding wires and crimped them closed on the machine.
With them closed I bent the bottom of it into a spiral.
Once in a spiral, I placed the larger bulb into the opening at the top and bent it to hold the bulb tightly in place. I then hot glued the bulb, if needed, to the wire and glued the wire to the "head."
JUST AN IDEA....
When I was playing around with Mr. Roboto's arms, I had this idea to attach the arms to the body using the crimped 5/8 binding wire. I pierced the "body" box and inserted the wire. I then pierced the "arm" box and inserted the other end then glued both. I think it's really cool how it hangs away from the body and gives the piece some movement. When you add the hand assembly and place something in the hand it would bend the wire down and closer to the body.
If you have any questions just let me know. If you feel Mr. Roboto is something you would like to see in a kit please let me know as well.
Thanks and Have a Great Evening!!

Very cool! As to the learning, I think most of us have been in your spot at one time or another. I couldn't figure it out and just up and quit the idea of posting for almost 6 months, then finally tackled it all again and it went ok. I still have issues trying to do certain things, but just ask and someone will help ;) Thanks for sharing!
