Alright, Update time! We have been getting EPICLY LUDRICRIOUSLY LARGE amounts of snow, but whenever its sunny and over 35 degrees F, i'm outside working on my helmets! As for the Mau5 head, i've made a lot of progress and hope to have it complete by March 20th, my friend's next "rave". So far, the Mau5phere is resined, and rondo-reinforced, and i believe it is much lighter than an acrylic ball. As for the red-ness, i plan on going to the fabric store and buying some incredibly stretchy velvet and going from there. Im going to make the mouth a bit smaller and cut out bits of it as i go along. I will also have LEDs inside of the eyes and Red LEDs along the top of the mouth.

cool but maybe the ears could be styrofoam? just a thought...
Correct! I had planned on using styrofoam, but got a much better deal when i looked at the supplies I had available. turns out i had a gigantic block of memory foam, so ill use that so if the ears get poked too much, nothing should happen. here are some pics of the ears.
Supplies cut and ready
essential layout
Complete
as for the head itself, i've made the head hole so its as small as possible, and its reinforced. (just needs to be cleaned up a bit.)

ears: looks good
only problem that is mouth, just a little to big, lover uper edge by one square ant it will be awsome,
eyes just a little bigger
I agree on the eyes, and as for the mouth i know the curve needs to be smaller, but the top is right. On Joel's actual head the mouth starts at the equator of the sphere. that is the top of the line on my head. i guess its just the photo perspective/POV, lol. Thanks!

HAHA Wy didnt i think of this :eek
great dj
Wow, the legendary Rundown visited my thread! yay! I really like Deadmau5's stuff and my friend holds "raves" and he plays/DJs a LOT of Deadmau5 mixes. I just started listening and now he is one of my favorite artists! BTW, thank you for making that ODST head model, its been really easy to make and very helpful!
Thanks everybody, and I do need Help with ONE thing... I have absolutely NO IDEA on what to use for the eyes.
whatever i use it needs to be semi transparent so i can install LEDs inside that will be controlled remotely. any ideas/feedback are appreciated.
