hi Rob
thank you for your comment.
The frame for the glasses has been sculpted in Duro directly on the figure (not the rim around the glasses wich was painted on after assembly).
For lenses i've used very fine acetate 0,1mm thick cut with the sharpen section of a brush on a not to hard surface so that i was able to get a slight curve in the lense. I had to cut abuot 20 lenses and then chosen the two with the neatest cut.
This have been glued in place after painting with a totaly clear glue,then the rims were painted. The acetate i've used is a product for dental tecnichians(me been one) called Fino Foil and is used as die spacers. I do not know if you can find this in U.S in dental stores.

I don't as a rule venture into the realm of 120mm, but this is one figure that I MUST have.
