I've been working on two things besides general cleanup on the helmet while I wait for my electronics bits to come in. First, I downloaded Google Sketchup and made new eye sockets for the helmet. The tolerances were very tight on the existing helmet, so to avoid potentially ruining it while attempting to properly hollow it out, I just made entirely new eyes that I can pop in from the back after removing the current ones. I've uploaded them to Shapeways to display the design better than a single photo could.

I haven't marked them up at all, I just want them to be available.
And the other thing I worked on for quite a while today was making an extended version of the Awesome Mix volume 1. I made it to fit the full 90 minute run time of the accurate tape, which fits what Chris Pratt said of the tape given to him by James Gunn as well. i removed Ain't No Mountain High Enough and I Want You Back, as those both belong (with reasonable certainty) on Awesome Mix volume 2. And I added a bunch of songs. Wichita Lineman, Magic, Livin' Thing, and Mama Told Me Not To Come all come from interviews and deleted scenes as intended to be on the soundtrack but removed for various reasons. And the rest I just felt like adding, although I do think they're each relevant to the theme of the tape with the exception of the Queen song, which is my Cherry Bomb. It makes no sense and shouldn't be there, but I like the song.
