  • Close up

    Another use for it is a head set rack. There's also a LED ball in the other eye that blinks real fast when it's moved. Finally, there's a strobe light inside the head, which is also modded to use my PC power supply.

  • Side view

    I've put the on/off switch at the base of the skull. It's not very accessible but I didn't want it to be in sight.

    A coat or two of Krylon original Chrome and a few wires.
