Hey all!

Im hoping to start my first bio this week and ive been trawling through the forum looking for whats best to use for Lenses, but i cant find anything, anyone any ideas?

 
depends on weather you want mesh or lense..

plenty of guys supply mesh,,
if you want a lense perosnaly i used a motorcycle visor.. some guys depending on the bio have used sunglass lenses...
 
Hello ,

In my area there is a place called Tap Plastics.I have used a variety of there plastic sheets as lenses,then take wire mesh and wrap it around.All of my bios are for display so I just get a piece cut to 9" x 3".They have a wide range of colors to choose from and thicknesses.Usally I try and use 1/16" or less,but no thicker than 1/8" and bend it using a heat gun.

Here is a link to their site:

Hope that helps,Daren
 
Completely forgot about that one Anubis! Also, if you want to buy what is considered more film accurate mesh and tri-laser you can visit Don Jarrs website and send him an email from there. I paid about $13 shipping included for mine.
 
Wow! Thanks for all your help guys!
I got all the materials today to make a cardboard/putty bio using the same style as Ha'Khann's wolf helmet (hes been giving me advice lol) so hopefully ill get it started this weekend.
