Deadmau5 Head

[individual]

Hey, one question. This is the first time I've ordered these 4.5 inch eyes... did you guys paint these on the inside and leave the outside clear or just paint the outside of it?

You'll want to paint the inside. This allows you to keep the outside shiny and even buffable.

Thanks giz... that's what I was thinking.

All great pics, thanks for posting. I actually just purchased a Mouse Head from this site. I chatted with one of the guys behind this site (they have a chat feature), and it does seem that this isn't an exact replica of a Deadmau5 head, but I think it looks pretty damn cool.

The heads on that website are pretty terrible for what they're charging. I think you got ripped off

Can anyone offer some advice on how to mount the eyes? I've seen a ton of different ways, but I'm thinking about having LEDs in the eyes and can't figure out the appropriate way to mount the eyes and still be able to attach LEDS.

Thanks

Thanks for the link for fabric! I've never dealt with fabric before, and am just now realizing how many different types of velvet there are, not to mention the number of fabrics in general. I had checked out some stretch velvet at the local fabric superstore, but it was "crushed stretch velvet". The "crush" gave it a non-uniform color (darker and lighter spots) due to the light reflections and didn't look exactly how I had planned. I'll try sourcing a US site for those of us on the other side of the pond.

Thanks for the tips, though. :thumbsup

The fabric you are looking for is called stretch velour (or stretch velvet) and it needs to have 2 WAY stretch so you can pull it really tight and smooth in all directions. Available at most fabric stores, downtown LA is a good source. The red is a really strong, rich colour.

You also need to steam the fabric from the rear side before using to get any creases out - this gives a really smooth finish. The pile of the cloth gets flattened during shipping

Wow, That's amazing!
I going to start my own soon.

I have a question.

How exactly did you sew on the cloth for the ears and head?

Thanks so Much!

 

[Oceans15]

All done! Just in time!

Thanks to everyone on this forum for their great ideas and discussions!

WOW, amazing eyes, what light did you use, and how did you rig it up?
also, how do you create the mouth?
i'm so confused on how to do the mouth (material-wise)
Thanks
