Yes, definitely!

How about letting him say things like "We believe we have located the Battlestar Galactica" or "Everything is possible, but the odds are astronomically against it"?

Oh, and don't let's forget his most popular line "By your command."

Eye update I did a test cast..

Color looks good, needs bright LEDs.
But it works. In the pics the triangle area that is black, sits behind, inside the head and provides mounting area.

Don't know if it's of any interest here, but while going through the episodes I've realized that they've used considerably more bulbs/LED's (in numbers: 10) for Lucifer's lower mouth light bar in "Lost Planet of the Gods":

Well anything could have happened, but I doubt they down graded to LED lights. Back then LED just wasn't bright enough to be seen on screen very well. If I recall it was around 1975 that LED even became with in a reasonable price range people could afford to buy them in small quantity. While light bulbs were dirt cheap.

Two more questions: Is there any brand/size available?

And would you mind posting a few more photos of it from additional angles?
