    Jun 22, 2012 - Horizon Jurassic Park Velociraptor eyes #1

    I'm building a Hoizon 1/5 velociraptor for my Son and i want to fit glass eyes in it.
    Does anybody know what size eyes to use on this model?

    Thanks,

    Keith.

    Thanks. Do you know where to get them. I have found somewhere in the UK, but they don't make the eyes i think are best for the kit in 12mm.

    Thanks,

    Keith.

    Tamiya Model Magazine had an article and he used taxidermy eyes made in Germany by Karl Lange and imported into the UK by Eyedentity Products in Wales - type used were 12 mm R66 reptile eyes.

    It's an old article, so the company may not exist anymore or carry those glass eyes, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

    Well, there are these:

    Glass Eyes - Search results
    Glass Eyes - Search results

    Look like they'd do to me. Better than I could paint a moulded vinyl eye at any rate.
    Lord...I've had one of these on hiatus forever; never even occurred to me that there might be glass eyes small enough to fit. Thanks for this thread!

    I just bought some for my Horizon Raptor and measure 12 mm. I believe they'd look fairly accurate for the female paint scheme. Would love to fin some male eyes. I could start a thread once I'm done with my amber stuff.

    I got mine last week, they're great. Why in heck did I ever imagine painting the kit eyes would be the way to go?!?
