I had the disappointing choice of grey or hot pink; since I don't frequent that scene on weekends it seems unsuitable. Gunmetal grey it is then (or to give it the actual, less tough sounding name 'Ford Nimbus Grey'). I assume Ford is a robot manufacturer like myself.
The kind lady in the shop told me they are the "best robot parts in Surbiton" and that "I'm lucky she deals in art equipment AND robotical engineering". Although, having said that I quizzed her on the fundamental principles of two-legged robotic walking and she backed off.
Now that the Robot paint is applied, the cardboard should now be referred to by its correct name - Pliable Titanium Alloy or PTA. Brief correspondence with the local 'Parent Teacher Association' cleared up some confusion but the fear of the 'Postcard Traders Association' contacting me is constant.
It might look suspiciously like a box but that's just a trick of the eye. When the PTA is applied, it'll all become clear. At this point I must admit that my plans were in fact totally floored. To put it simply, if I wear something as restrictive as the upper half on my legs, the effect would be fantastic but the mobility would be impaired to an extent that could cause an untimely death on the escalators of Greenwich Station. This is an inappropriate option taking into account the party’s 7pm start time.
