Iron Maiden pharaoh eyes mod
This is one of the easiest mods I've done, and I want to document it for you all. There's a flasher behind the pharaoh plastic
in the back of the playfield of Iron Maiden. The flasher is quite bright, usually when it goes off you just see a hotspot on the pharaohs face.
There are mods for sale to solve this, this consists of two leds that just fit behind the eyes. But why pay to add two leds when there
is already a led ? I first thought of 3D printing a part but once I disassembled the plastic and saw the led, even 3D printing something
would be overkill.. just a piece of black paper cut in the correct shape is enough. And if you want to change the color you can always
add a small piece of colored gel.
I just scanned the pharaoh plastic, printed this scan, cut out the face part, traced it onto black paper and cut that out. I made small holes for the eyes, but you could make them bigger.
Cut out paper fixed onto the plastic with some clear tape.
Holding the plastic against the light to check the position.
Reinstalling the plastic. The bottom right screw was a bit
difficult to reach, the others are easy.
How it looks installed - lit eyes.
