Left : a pile of micro-hollow-globular-resin-clay bought at 100-yen shop (Japanese equivarent of 10-cent store) It took much time to form feet; the balance of soles are crucial for stable standing.
Scenes from the trial testing for two foot standing. The original stability had been lost for the introduction of AHP : I had to adjust the balance of Maya from scratch. And she stood stout and strong, to my relief.
Making of details
Now emerges the whole appearance.

Setting of cables and HDD. the procedure : firstly, disjoint the pelves part. Then set the HDD and re-form it. Confession : I broke a HDD in this stage.
Setting of the optical disk drive. Cut out the back and set the drive.
Seting of the receiver-unit for the wireless keyboard and mouse.
Making and modification of the details.
Scenes from painting procedure.,

November 2003, Completion of the appearance, almost

Appearance almost completed. She has yet to pass a trial to be confirmed as an operational PC.

December 2003

I took Maya to the editing office of PC-DIY in Tokyo : after that, I paid a visit to the office of Mr Chandller Morimoto, the mad scientist--cooling king--the manufacturer of AHP system. He gave me the fans as a gift, which came to resolve the last difficulty of cooling Maya.
Improving of the radiating unit set in Maya's head -- triple fans with heatsink. Setting of the heat exhausting fan at the thigh joint
Setting of the power-switch, reset-switch and LED.
Now operational, Homo Computis Personae Erectus ! Can you see the functioning of AHP set onto the motherboard in the chest? Liquid sealed in the tube goes upward in bubbles due to the heat of CPU. Also some modelling/modification were made during the operation testing.
