Hi Enrico,

Great work!

Regarding eye, although I think this suggestion is not necessary at all, since the eye already looks impressive, here is an idea, that worked ok-ish for me, without needing much space like the neopixel rings:

Basically, it is a single LED (red in my case) and a ring made of plastic. They are just epoxied together (I sanded the LED end flat first, to diffuse light a bit) and then just wired it directly to an I/O pin on the pi, via a small resistor:

You can see it wasn't perfectly illuminated, since it appears overblown at the bottom, so the light was not totally even.

Anyway I think your mannequin's eye looks fantastic already.

I agree with DAB, I think the eye now looks great, with the right proportions. It is a pity that the Neopixels do not fit as that would have given it that extra dimension.

The mannequin looks very good now that it is dressed and re-assembled. I am looking forward to seeing the final working version. It cannot be long now.

I like the eye fix, though you might want to add a filter over the camera to disguise the camera a little.
