Making a Borg Headset

Making a Borg Headset
I needed a headset for a 'Cyborg' shoot. I decided to try and get something a bit like the Borg one off Star Trek.

Materials used:

One cheap broken set of PC headphones
Some packing sponge
Old computer cards (I used a couple of soundcards rescued from scrap).
Paint - Acrylic hobby paint and some matt black spray can enamel
Some scrap PC wiring.

Dismantle to headphones
This came about as a happy accident really. I was stripping out bits of old scrap to see what could be salvaged for projects.

I realised that the plastic of the ear piece could be cut to form the eye section of the head set. But even better was to follow!

Very nice work on the Borg Headset. I am going to make one of these hopefully within the next few weeks due to school almost finishing and holidays arriving. As a suggestion, instead of using packaging foam, would it be possible to use normal foam or sponges?
