                        Thanks for the idea, Gregory.

                        I still haven't got around to printing ut a sheet of eyes - I saw the Archer set and thought they looked strange. I've also moved to 1/48" armor, so I have a better excuse not to do eyes!!!

                        Neil:

                        You could use a punch set to cut these out. If you do not have one you could punch them out using a piece of brass tubing shaped and sharpened. To cut them out use the tubing with a piece of dense rubber (hockey puck is a cheap source)

                        Cheers;

                        Gregory

                        P.S. Let me know how you make out

                        Has anyone tried making their own eye decals?

                        If so, do you have any suggestions or tips?

                        I bought the Testors decal kit today and I've started to draw some eyes in Adobe Illustrator. I've drawn them oversize and will scale them down to 1/35".

                        My biggest doubt is how easy it will be to trim the small eye decal close enough to the edge to make it fit the figures eye socket.

                        I bought the Testors kit to make decals for another project, and if the eyes idea doesn't work I'll buy the Archers eyeball set.

                        Thanks
