Thanks guys!
Yes, I completely hollowed it out, cut the eyes and teeth out. I added lens material, neck trim, foam maple leaf, chin straps with snaps. And I even put in real screws and nuts for the ears. I'm also 3D printing some 1/3 scale hove mic tips. Those shipped today!
I had Mike at Trooperbay.com make me the tube stripes, although I smudged the one side. But it should be an easy fix.
