** More pics added 08/01/12 **
I spent the most of Saturday working on my Wall-E.
I did the typical carve out the bottom and added the servos.
Mounted the sonar.
For the arms I carved out slots for the mini servos. Screwed on the round servo horns. Then ground down the arm joints flat. Crazy glued them direct onto the servo horns.
I figured it's going to be a permanent install so I'm not too worried. I can always snap off and re-do if needed. The Mini servos seem to have enough juice to do the basic up/down.
I'll be adding a MP3 module with amp shortly.
The head seems to be the difficult part. Still working on a game plan for that.
Didn't take a whole lot of pictures but will take some more when I tear him down again.

As Requested, some close up pics of my version of head mount. I still need to fill, finish sand and touch up the paint.
Wall-E at rest. I like the natural head tilt. Because his head is only attached on one side this causes the head to droop.
Here is the neck. I did some extensive sanding down. This allows for clearance of the up/down movement. Glued a piece of styrene on top and shaped in. In the center is a 4-40 nut for the mounting screw.
Just another angle.
Here is the re-cycled Wall-E part mounted to the servo. servo horn is screwed on and crazy glued to prevent movement.
Another angle.
Servo fits perfectly in the eye. Hot glued. Only had to expand the existing opening slightly to accept the servo a head.
There ya be.

Do make his head look left and right, check out the end of the Real Wall-e video on his profile page: https://synthiam.com/Robots/The-Real-Wall-E
You'll have to full screen and pause to take a look - but i gave away some good hints
Almost finished.
I got the head completed. You can't even see the servo.
I have some more tweaking to do but I'll post pics tonight when I get home from work.
A quick vid for now.
Awesome!
were you able to keep the "eye tilt"
im working on a set up that allows for left and right up and down plus eye tilt.
also in my set up the left and right plus up and down all happen at the point where the neck and head meet....the neck stays still.so itas all in the eyes they can also move up and down independently of each other.
i will post a video today after work.
Pics from the other day.
Both arms mounted to 9g servos.
Closeup pic.
Arm mounted.
Servos mounted for track drive. Not perfect but works great.
Head mount V.1. Ver. 2 is very similar but I did more mods to neck piece for clearance issues. 9g servo is completely hidden in eye.
@Lumpy:
Is it possible to show, or demonstrate moving mechanism of head for up and down direction? And also, how is the servo housed in the head and connected to neck. Thanks a lot of.

Amazing ! Congratz!
I'll fire some pics off tonight when I get home from work.
