it's cool getting two new bodies, isn't it!?
I thought you told me and Larry we couldn't get anymore God stuff?
We are watching you now Gung!
I think he wants to hog it all to himself.
I decided to repaint the Beijing GOD head from scratch. Before I dipped the head into the solution to strip the paint, I removed the Evision system to prevent any damage to the mechanism or the eyeballs. Take a look.
My Evision came with straight eyes, but for the folks who have unfortunately received crooked eyes, I tried to figure out how the eyes went out of alignment and what can be done to correct it. Looking at the Evision setup, it seems impossible that the eyes were somehow "shaken" out of place during shipment. It had to be a more fundamental problem. The eyeballs are connected together by a pivot link, and the control arm end of the pivot link is inserted into finger ball that controls the eye movement. I could only think of 2 ways that can cause crooked eyes in this setup. Either the holes for connecting pins weren't placed correctly on the pivot link and/or the eyeballs, or the backing plate for the eyeballs were defective thus throwing the eyes out of alignment. Any other guesses?
I am looking forward to seeing pictures of the custom painted GOD head !
By the way, I am hoping that someone with a crooked eyed EVision DB head will sell or trade to someone like yourself, Tin or someone else who might be able to make the operation to fix the crossed eyed heads for those who have that problem with their BD head...
Maybe someone could write EB an e-mail and ask them to address on how to fix this (at own risk of course) ?
