Eye options for a Chewie15 Yoda?

[Gary Weaver II]

Pretty much as the title says. I just picked up one of Howards beautiful Yoda casts and need a set of eyeballs for the little sucker...

Has anyone sourced a decent set yet?

Many Thanks,
-Gary

Thanks RKW, I don't understand why it's so hard to get info on Yodas eyeballs.

Zorg, that's really cool. And it makes me think of all manner of other useful applications... Thanks for posting.

Is that number accurate? Obviously you got it from somewhere. Just need to know if it's right.

I wish Howard would chime in with specs on his Yoda eyes... since they're so perfect.

Here comes some chimming

First off, I would highly recommend NOT using Schoefers... they really suck at getting stuff right and always messing orders up from too many sets or wrong color or even wrong sizes.. They're also known for being VERY late on orders... I NEVER refer them because I'm always waiting for something. Just a warning... they suck.

The eyes in Yoda were sculpted, but a 28MM with 14MM iris should work fine...

Good luck.

Forgot about this thread -- so what's the consensus on eye color?

Funny -- I've been thinking of that scene as I've began painting Yoda's eyes. Seriously.

Eye Question for Yoda:

Capilaries or not...? What do you think?

 

[PHArchivist]

I'm in the process of hand=painting eyes for my figure...

I am fairly certain the original puppet eyes did not have veins and capilary detail (though not 100% sure).

But I'm toying with adding them anyway to add to the realism of the figure.

On the other hand, would Yoda even have had red blood...?
