Finished wig head (it lights up!)

Description

So here we have a complete wig head for the statue. Actually, I still need to buy a new wig for it, preferrably one that's pure white :XD:
Until then, however, this is my current finished product. As you can see, the visor lights up (it looks a ton better in real life because my phone's camera sucks)
On the top left, we have a front view of the head
On the top right, we have a side view of the head
On the bottom left, we have a shot of the battery pack and switch. I bought a set of LED strips at AutoZone and put the battery pack on the back of his neck with the lights themselves adhered to the inside of the visor. Actually, the LED strips had a "try me" button at the time. You press the button and it lights up. You release the button and it switches off. So I had to go to NAPA Auto and get a switch. My grandpa took the try me button off of the LED strips and sautered the on/off switch onto the wires in its place. He then took shrink hose and electrical tape and pretty much covered the entire switch in it except for the top where the on/off button actually was. I then took the switch and hot glued it into place on the back of his neck alongside the battery pack. I tested it out, and it worked just fine. In real life, you can actually see through the red cellophane and into the visor. i think that's pretty cool :XD:

More progress pics up soon!
