Thanks! CMOT Pat when I saw this I checked the calender to make sure it wasn't April 1st. There I was thinking only one thing made you blind. Shadowfax I have mixed feelings on these eyeball sets. It sure makes finishing faces easier, but the eyes look "bugged-out". I think they might look better if they were oval shaped. I usually go back and paint the eye lids after the decal is dry.
Just a thought.
AJLaFleche I've seen these used only once, at teh IPMS Nats in VA Beach 2002. They all looked like doll eyes, taking away from the realism of the rest of the face. pseudorealityx How does one apply such a small decal?!
It makes sense on the larger scale 1/16th type stuff in my mind, but 1/35!?! Wow... Plasticbattle
I have never seen them used ... but could imagine this looking at the images. Too much of the iris and not enough pupil .... Im imagining they would look like vampyre eyes almost?? If I seen a set being sold, Id probably buy them ... to try them out though. Maybe placing the decal and adding paint (to taste) might be one idea. Painting eyes is not my strong point! 8) Kuno-Von-Dodenburg Good idea in theory. But I just can't see these working somehow.
Far to fiddly in 1/35 (given that you'd need to get the position exactly right), plus you'd probably need to blend it in with the surrounding facial paint job anyway, thereby to a great extent defeating the object of the exercise. PolishBrigade12 Wow,
This certainly won't ever hit my kit bag. What ever happened to improving our painting skills. If this, what next, buying prepainted figures for our dioramas? I can't see judges taking these seriously especially when accuracy and skill are paramount. I say bad idea!
