Here are some details I worked out. I got my scaling pretty close:

24 mm eye
Medium brown
11mm iris
3.5mm pupil
Off-white sclera
Light veining in sclera, none in iris

Top: Original. Bottom: My plated Bluefive idol.

Wasn't there a guy here on the RPF who are making glass eyes?

 

[kurtyboy]

Vandykes Taxidermy also do human glass eyes custom made to your specifications. That's where I had mine made. Also had a pair made for Luke Skywalker and Arnie.

Hazel 22 mm "life like eyes"

Obviously I have not finished painting my Idol bank and getting rid of that aweful headband. What did she do, go to Walmart???

 

[Droidboy]

Well I'm definitely going to have to get that Bluefive idol now.

I just did. I swore my Idol bank would be good enough but with my Relicmakers Cross and my other props being pretty much the best made I decided the idol needs an upgrade.:cry

 

[CessnaDriver]

ignore.

 

[kurtyboy]

I'm seeing the same problem here that I see in nearly all the off the shelf eyes: pupils are too big. You need to specifically specify an 11mm pupil. See my post above for measurements.

Obviously you do not realize that this picture was taken in a darker room than the temple hence his pupils are bigger.


My wife came up with that when I mentioned the larger pupil problem:lol

Hi kurtyboy,

Thanks!
