Am I the only one who can’t wait for this to be released? No idea what it will be based off of but too awesome to pass up.

If you search Etsy, there are vendors who will custom cut acrylics for you.

[Ratimus]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Maybe do the whole top as an acrylic face plate. You could either do the smoked acrylic thing, or use one of those light valves and paint the inside of the face plate black where the light valve isn't covering it.

I'm thinking of placing a red led under the mask just below the drill out and leaving the waterslide uncut and clearcoat to hopefully reinforce it
