The Trollenberg Terror is an interesting old movie that has a crawling eye as the main monster.
The movie The Atomic Submarine is another giant eye creature. At Halloween time these bags of eyeballs in several colors were sold in a few different stores.
They are essentially ping pong balls with an eye and red veins printed on it. But I wanted more, so I painted the back of the ball in Tamiya orange paint.
The eyes were set into a small glass, lined with aluminum foil to hold the eye in place and provide a ragged edge to the eye.
The glass cup, it used to have a candle in it and when the candle was used up, I cleaned up the glass and use it for hobby purposes.
Foil used for the liner.
Ready for painting, it looks a bit like an egg holder!
Push the eye down so it does not jump out when spray painted.
I was able to use the same foil for a test run and then for mass production.
Eyes lined up for spray painting.
Tamiya spray can in the paint shaker ready for spraying.
TS-31 Bright Orange eyes.
Another batch of eyes ready for painting.
Painted and drying.
Actually they look pretty good just like this!
