The dimensions will be 14" tall, 16" wide, (including the dome-shaped side thrusters) and 14.75" front-to-back (not including tactile arms.) The interior will be fully lit, but I imagine it will be a while before we get a video clip of that. I'll put a word in to ER about it.

After a lot of measuring and re-measuring, and several experimental (wrong) versions, I think I've finally got accurate shapes of the under-padding and rigid armor for Wez. Now I'll begin to add surface details; rivets, stitched fabric edging, and strap anchors.
