    Very easy to pull off man! Start with a base of bright silver, let dry, and then go over it with Tamiya clear blue. Let the blue "pool" in the pupil recesses in the sculpt. I prefer this over the LEDs because it brings out the look of the movie a little more. As you can see in the pics, when light shines on them they do seem to "glow."

    Good stuff, great work on the head in particular. Liking the worn edge paint on the knee and leg panel.

    I do this with all of my customs, too. When I'm doing red eyes, though, I'll go with metallic gold flake. Silver base under the red tends to make then slightly pinkish instead of vibrant red.

    Great job Sculpt-bot! It looks great!

    I love the rifle you made and the chains on the back. The swords look a little short though.

    Excellent, the colours are really bold, and the detailing stands out very nicely.
