The little "cups" on the fingertips are made from strips of comic book backer boards, duct-taped together and then epoxied to the ends of the fingers.

I'm already looking into a few latex/resin options on upgrading the knee joints and shoulder/back cups but that will have to wait. My only issues that could be four would be the fragility of the 4 struts of the black end cap on the DIY version (which is an easy fix with glue and a steady hand) and perhaps the round part of the lower emitter cannot slide inside the collar of the body (but like I said very minor nitpicks.I cut a hole in the bottom front of the box and took a cheap flashlight from Home Depot (or Target or gas station) unscrewed the top light and placed it in the hole.

The head is constructed of fibreglass with thick foil around the eyes and mouth which are backed from the inside with mesh, the ear pieces are clear flexible tubing with solid perspex pieces at the top and bottom to form the curved shape and the interior of the helmet features a black elastic loop which was used to hold the torch in place.All of the tape lines you can see in the early pictures are from inserting additional shunts of poster board for just this reason.

Pedler had the idea after a conversation with his wife, who was also a doctor, about what would happen if a person had so many mechanical body part replacements, they could no longer tell if they were man or machine. Square off your board and draw a line bisecting it, and be careful to mirror all the changes you make.

Plus they were metal so I debated using strong magnet to keep them on- but in the end we used verco strips again.

This chest unit represents arguably the finest surviving example of an early Cyberman chest unit in near perfect and original condition. The original hooks and clips used to originally attach the now absent backplate are all present and complete.

When it came to making the "chin", for example, I put my head through the neck area, with the faceplate only attached at the top. Eagle eyed viewers will see one headpiece ear attachment flapping around with the movement of the actor.
