I don't know if this would work for you but (I kept hallucinating from the formaldehyde and this cut the odor and effect for me tremendously, along with the odor from the cadaver) I bought a few gas and pollution reducing nasal filters like this one. They're fairly discreet and slip into your nostrils and are connected by a thin band to fit. It can be cleaned with alcohol and isn't as bulky as a more efficient full-on chemical safety mask but not as inexpensive as a camphorated unguent like Vicks, either.

The anatomy coloring book! I've taken A&P 3 times now for various degrees, this was by far the best learning tool. Create a quizlet of areas or systems you have a particularly hard time on. Good luck!

1. Overall, I highly recommend getting some sort of undergrad level physiology book to study along with anatomy. Knowing Latin suffixes and prefixes really help too. I personally use Human Physiology: From Cells to Systems and Textbook of Medical Physiology.
   
   2a. Seems to me that "investing" is defined as a subcategory of "deep", based on what you quoted. Like if you have deep fascia with certain branches that invest/dig deeper into a particular group of muscles. It just comes back to the definition of "investing". I personally wouldn't worry so much about differentiating between them. The focus is more of the fact that they're fascia and they have specific functions depending on where they are.
   
   2b. Soma relates to a wall. Analogy: soma is a box; viscera is the stuff you put into the box.

Mcminn's is fantastic. Cadaver photos, really helpful. Libraries will have it as a reference text but some will lend it.

Edit: here's a link to it on amazon http://www.amazon.com/McMinn-Abrahams-Clinical-Atlas-Anatomy/dp/0723436975

In my opinion, the best book on neuro anatomy & functionality is, by far, Nolte's The Human Brain: An Introduction to its Functional Anatomy.

Very cool project. Just signed up to Hackaday to follow your progress.

If you're looking for the gold standard of detailed explanation of human movement, you might want to check out Kapandji's Physiology of the Joints: Volume I Upper Limb (if you haven't already):

http://www.amazon.com/The-Physiology-Joints-Volume-Upper/dp/044310350X/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

The thing is wildly overpriced, but whenever I have a question about something I just go check it out from the library.

EDIT: spelling

Also... Get this book http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0321832019?pc_redir=1409112222&robot_redir=1

it's worth every cent.

I don't know if you are in school or not but if you have access to an anatomy or biology lab that has real human bones you could use them as reference. You could look at the human bone manual https://www.amazon.com/Human-Bone-Manual-Tim-White/dp/0120884674/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1467507833&sr=1-1&keywords=human+bone+manual You should also think about are the bones you are modeling male or female, Juvenal or adult because these will change the dimensions.
