The headlamp is just a half sphere of basswood. Cigarette is a piece of toothpick. Both glued on.
Using watercolours to colour the miner. Basically, as long as you use artists quality you'll be fine. If you use student or cheap watercolours then the colours might fade over time. Failing that the pigments are rubbish and the colours aren't as vibrant or won't mix to give you the right colour.
Next step is to coat it with Boiled Linseed Oil. Once it's dry I give it two coats of (any old) gloss varnish.
Music: same as last video, from incompetech

I often sit and doodle in a note book with a biro. No plans, nothing. Just random doodles. Whatever comes to mind. I thought I'd share this today as a digital doodle. What you see here is exactly what I do at night to 'brain dump'. Sometimes it's a big dump... :D

Just a quick Arduino Nano project using a cheap ultrasonic sensor (to detect distance) and a 1.8" colour TFT screen to show the distance.
The ruler is to show that the sensor is actually pretty accurate.
The screen has an SD card slot on the back of it. Next I'll try using an SD card to log data from it.
