    Better...Stronger...Faster! BIONIC UPDATE...the Bionic Eye!

    I finished my ultimate SMDM's bionic eye last night. The entire eye socket was drilled completely through, and I made a specially tinted clear blue lense which was inserted carefully into the empty eye socket.
    This took tweezers and two hours of failed attempts! The lense was formed and polished out of clear styrene rod and is no bigger than the head of a pin.
    It's designed to pick up ambient light and reflect it back. It matches his regular eye in color, but it actually looks like a tiny camera lense.
    I couldn't be happier with the result. Hope you guys enjoy!

    Really cool. the eyes are a little too bloodshot for my tastes, but the realism is well done.

      Really amazing work.If you backlight the head,will the light shine through to the eye/lense?That is cool, i want to see a pic of that.

          It looks fantastic! Much better than the eye "hole" in Kenner's figure!

              I highly recommend rebuilding the left eye-lids. If possible adjust left pupil slightly toward the nose.

                The lids are still there...It looks fine at normal size. See the photo below. I did repaint a little and tone down the red per Boss' suggestion.
