Using a broken hacksaw blade (above) to remove any minor overhang of the acrylic pieces at the joins on the piece. This method is considerably quicker than sanding and actually leaves a good finish without further polishing. These joints on the side of the body actually appear on the standard sized dispensers and so an impression of their presence would be fitting even in this large scale.
The photo below shows the scale of the body alongside a standard dispenser with character head. Once completed, the sculpt itself will be almost the same size as the body (see drawing guide below).
I also briefly talked to Paul who suggested looking at printer dispensing techniques to further my ideas for the mechanism. Although this week so far has had little in the way of mechanics I am happy to be getting something made to feel like progress is being made quicker. Tomorrow I will draw and cut the PEZ logos and additional text that fits on the side of the body.
