Smurfes (Schlümpfe)

Where you can buy such a Smurf? Not even on EBAY! I made some changes to the "Quacksalber-Schlumpf" and formed the electrodes over a gas flame out of some glass capillaries (the ones from the doctors lab).  Yes, that was real glass blower work, just everything a little smaller than usually! Socket diameter of the tiny electrodes here is approx. 1.1mm, that is scale 1:10.

The smurf got a stand for all his nine spare electrodes now. Also a neon test tube was made (with end caps on both sides). I will publish the photographs as soon as I made them, please be a bit patient.

Since the wand is about factor 2 to big for the smurf, I buildt no case for his wand and the electrodes (it doesn't look very realistic if the case is of the same size as the smurf...) 

Nice idea if I ever have to much time in the future: build a very small blue LED into the wand so that the electrode will glow. A small battery (knob cell) and a tiny switch have to be buildt into the smurf and the wires routed through his arm. The only thing I don't know at the moment is how to drill a hole inside his arm (perpendicular to the wand and the body of the smurf). If you have an idea, please drop me a mail, thanks! Perhaps I'll use the "power cord" to house the wires for the LED and route it over his leg...
