    In mego scale? I almost think I'd just paint them silver with the proper black shape outline. I don't think the black pinholes would have shown up on an original MEGO, and they may clutter it up now.

        There were several styles of lens used throughout the series. There was a dark smoked lens, like sunglasses. There was a more silver mirrored finish. And then the one shown above. You could probably get away with doing the mirrored lens at mego scale, and it would still capture the overalll look without driving yourself crazy trying to replicate the holes at that scale.

          I wonder if you could do some type of halftone pattern like these...

          Halftone screen patterns are a key ingredient of retro design, but it can be difficult to find or create realistic screentone style resources. Photoshop and Illustrator can produce halftone effects, but the result is a series of perfectly formed circles which don’t look very antique at all and fail to capture that grungy rock poster […]


          When I worked at the newspaper in college, the cartoonists had sheets of this stuff lying around for shading. From my brief search on-line, everything seems to be digital now.

              they do sell the Mirror Tape. - so maybe use that and a marker to make the dots for the vented eye holes?

                      I received a decal from AAA for my car awhile back, and the remainder of the sticker has a silver finish with some dots on the edges. Looks quite a bit like the pattern in Spidey's eye. Best part was it was FREE (junk mail). Check your mailbox!
                      "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                              I'm interested in having a 12" version made and being new to the site, I don't know who these people are being mentioned ("Laser Mego" guy, aka "Paul"), if any one could put me in touch with them, I'd love to talk about having the "eyes" done in the 1/6 scale. Thanks in advance!!
