Zeta I can but it's all temporary, because I have to gut it to chrome.

Red eye we can make that a case by case, I would use a metal technique that is very believable. But the cost may go up a bit.

I was curious about how the controller fits in the mohawk.
You had mentioned that it don't fit flat after you resized the helmet.
I may be able upgrade the new controller boards to be smaller to fit better.

Some one else mentioned to me that the board didn't fit correctly in the Mohawk either. I suspect your Cylon helmet Mohawk is wider in your build if that is what you used as a reference point to build the board.

My hyperdyne vortex 2 voice showed up today. :cylon: :nah:

Cylon gold cold cast usually refers to porcelain powder added to plastic casting resin. I will just use the resin. They will look the same but resin in far easier to sand and drill.

Could those that have purchased the zeta eye controller from me, Please let me know how the board fits?
This may become a issue, and would like to better understand it. For future release of the controllers may need to be changed.

Thanks to everyone.
