Mini-Robot from 50's Movie "Devil Girl from Mars"

You guys may remember my thread with Chani the robot from the 1954 "B" movie "Devil Girl from Mars". I saw this crazy looking robot and the even crazier sounding title and had to build my own.
I don't know why, but I decided making a mini version that would fit on a single page along with instructions would be a good idea. So I did it.
Here is what I came up with:





I have this design in .svg format with layers if anyone likes using Inkscape or similar software and .png format for those who don't. The advantage of the .svg file is you can choose to just print the cut lines, or fold lines or send it to a cutting machine, or whatever.

It is intentionally left white, cause I like that "maquette" look, but feel free to color it as you wish Or even paint it after building. That's what I usually do anyhow. My minimalist instructions are supposed to be "Ikea" like, where you could build without having to read English instructions.

I am going to upload both files in a zip archive after I finish this post. Which is bass ackwards I suppose...
Anyhoo, I hope some of you will build it and post some pictures!!!

I took my mini Chani design and added a lipo battery, led with a resistor inline, a small usb charging port and a mini sliding switch...




Here is the new version with some clear plastic for a dome:



The led stays lit for quite some time on just the battery. When it gets dim, the battery can be charged with a mini usb cable from a computer or a wall wart.




Only caveat- The charger plugs right up into it's butt.
