does any one know where you can get acrylic balls or half spheres?

Superior Lighting is a great source for both the large 14" globes and the 6" acrylic globes. I have also purchased the acrylic globes from Home Depot, but really love the Home Depot polycarbonate globes - they are very thin, strong, exceptionally shiny, and consistent in thickness throughout the globe (some polycarbonate globes from other suppliers are very thick on one end and extremely thin on other area)

Did you use a hampster ball as means for the head or did you use the acrylic globe?

And if you don't mind... what did you cover the metal mesh with?

Oct 29, 2010. 6:09 AMIntrica says:

Rob, I covered the metal mesh on this one with girl's lycra tights from Target. $3.99/pr and it's enough to cover 4 mesh panels.

You can also use sheer chiffon fabric and it works very well.

Hey Intrica... Nice Deadmau5 head.. Would you be able to post a picture of a 6'' acrylic globe and a picture of the polycarbonate globe because everywhere I ask they say they don't have, and that includes Home Depot.

Oct 29, 2010. 6:13 AMIntrica says:

Rob, here is the link to the acrylic globes at Home Depot
http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg2/R-100671525/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

I don't know why the polycarbonate version is not listed online, but they carry more of that one at my local store than they do of the acrylic. Next time I stop by there I will take a pic of the box and maybe that will have info on it that will help them locate the item for you.

I see your name is Rob305 - if you are in the Miami area as your name suggests, the Home Depot I get the polycarbonate globes at is the one on Stirling Rd.

Hope this helps!

I dunno about acrylic, but styrofoam is available at craft stores like Michaels. They might also have acrylic or similar. Give them a shot.

Well B4 I put the LED's or the Eyes on, I used my Roatary Tool to cut (square) holes where my eyes go. I used 2 circut boards that run through the helmet, in a series circut.
