You are making good progress.

You might want to add some insulation to damping the motor noise.

Enrico,

I was watching the first of your videos and thinking 'are her *** lighting up?' and then thought surely not, must be some external lighting effect. Then it turns out you had installed internal lighting, it looks good. I once made a plaster-of-paris object once that had LEDs hidden inside. It worked surprisingly well considering the material is mostly plaster. I think I was trying to get my electrical/electronic students to think about 3D design and materials. In the end the University decided the plaster was a toxic substance and I couldn't use it.

Are the eyes going to move? Because if they do it is really creepy. I have previously worked with Robothespian robots ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CycD3e7UaDM ) and if you don't interact with them for a while they go into a watching stage, where they watch you and follow your movements around the room with their eyes and head movements. It is very disconcerting if you are not familiar with it.

Looking good (except for the picture with the missing eye, that was kind of creepy). The stepper motor seems to hum throughout the mannequin, have you thought of some sound deadening material?

Keep up the good work!
