Ok so I am new to this site (posting wise) but have been reading all the great tips and tricks from from everyone and decided to join the community. I think its time I start my thread so people can see what I have been working on.
I am in the process of building a replica Deadmau5 head! I have seen so many variations of this costume and took what I thought were the best tips and processes from all the different ones I have seen and tried my own.
The head is made out of a 14 inch acrylic globe that i reinforced with fiberglass matte. I build a vacuum former in my garage to form the eye pucks and the ears. I will be making two sets of ears. One set will be a basic solid ear made from insulation foam covered in a light coat of bondo, while the other set are something I have yet to see on a deadmau5 head. I will be making infinity mirror ears to give the illusion of the ears going inwards endlessly with color changing RGB LED strips.
Im excited to show of this project since it is my first one and It has been coming along quite nicely!
Hope you all enjoy!
