Jaw Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Here's a quick eye mold for making your own epoxy eyes using amazing putty and legos. I don't have a pic of a finished product but when I get some done I'll post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaw Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 need to put a piece of scotch tape over the lego brand or it will show up in your mold. I didn't notice it when I made the mold but it may add a unique design in your finished product have to test when time permits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckMaxx Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 great idea might be easier to remove each lego with a dremel just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papageorgio Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 did you make any eyes yet? Interested in seeing the results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaw Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Started some but overheated the jewelry resin I was going to use because it is supposed to be less prone to air bubbles. I overheated one of the bottles and it melted and I wasted it. Oops did a trial will d2t but they were only decent definitely need to cover up the Lego emblem it showed in my eyes. Haven't been anywhere to get more of the resin I wanted to use and had forgotten about it until I saw the post again. The one thing I can say is that the eyes come out taller than I really want but would be usable on larger baits. I used some stick on eyes I had as for the back ground just pouring my epoxy then placing the stick on eyes over it then letting it cure. This can be tedious and you have to watch the spacing. I think I will try this again by making another mold using a slightly different shape maybe shape some dowel rods to embed in the quick putty at a different spacing/pattern before I do it again and get more of the jewellery resin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty's Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 LOL A ball end mill in a drill press can be used to make impressions in an aluminum plate...then drop a black pupil in each one and then cover with a piece of foil in the color you want. This is basically how commercially mfg eyes are made except those are done on grid squares and sheets of pupils etc. Or just approach Lego to be your sponsor!
