Deadmau5 help...eyes and miscellaneous

[PrototypeVX2]

I know there have been a few different boards on this topic but I can't seem to find any specifics about the questions that I have. I have seen multiple tutorials
and they don't answer my questions satisfactorily.

Well enough of my rambling and onto the question.

How can I attach the eyes on to my deadmau5 helmet?

I have seen people use velcro and some custom built mounts (which I saw on here) but I don't have the means to build an intricate mount like I have seen on the builds from Giz (who posts on these boards) and many others don't go into detail on how their eyes stay affixed.

If anyone can help me that would be great!

what i did was hot glue blocks of foam on the inside of the eyes and then hot glue it to the fabric...you can'tgo wrong with hot glue. Just becareful whre you place the eyes cause hot glue dries really quick and it can leave a mess...check out my video of my evil mau5 head ...kida silly but kinda funny lol

Mau5y the head looks great, Im trying to make one similar to that style but I'm gonna try and mix deadmau5 with tron and have some nice glowy lines and such going across it. Whether or not it will actually work is a whole other story.

Thank for the tip about what you did. I think im going to cut the eye holes out of the acrylic globe I have and make them slightly larger than the actual eyes I'm going to use. Then use some epoxy to hold them in place, not much but enough so that I can put LED's in them and still have access to change them without having to tear things apart.

I'm guessing you used stretch velvet to cover the head?
