Making eye glasses

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

Didn't someone tell people how they made eye glasses for like Baroness in a thread somewhere? Something about the spring out of a click pen or something like that?

That would be me and the spring form an ink pen is what I used.

If you have access to a leather hole puncher, I made Lara's glasses using a hole puncher on the thin black plastic of an old container of chocolate milk. Then I Loctite glued them to a small clipping of the twist ties that secure clamshell action figures.

You can also use clear plastic, or any color plastic. For more square frames, just find a good pair of needle nose scissors.

//like i shop at michaels...

you can find these mini needlenose pliers with round jaws for $3. they work great for bending thin metal into smooth curves.
