Re: IG-88 has been Cloned!
I'm cutting the base out of wood, generally in the same shape as far as I can tell. I'm not sure yet how I should attach them though. Maybe a combination of glue and screws. I have a couple of unusual metal tubes that I'll use for eyes. I found them at an electronics surplus store years ago that I intended for this purpose. I think I'm going to put a couple red LEDs inside each, in case I ever get the urge to trick it out.

Re: IG-88 has been Cloned!
Here's what I did yesterday and tonight:
That's the gray one in the first pics, finished off. I dunno...are the eyes too big?
I need to find some red gel so I can light the interior red. Any suggestions where to get that? A photography store?
I stuck some LEDs in the eyes for the heck of it.
To clarify, this is a casted piece, not the original metal can. I'm really happy with my paint job. Turned out to be a lot easier than I thought.

Not sure about gel coat for the eyes, but I used thick red plastic from the cover of a folder which looks pretty good.
Reference images of the eyes are pretty poor, but I don't think they should be joined

Re: IG-88 has been Cloned!
Seems like the eyes should be joined at the bottom at least, by a bar of some kind.
For the interior lighting, I didn't mean gel coat, but a lighting gel that is used in photography and stage lighting. Floppy, colored pieces of transparent plastic that are put in front of lights to change their color.
