Glass Eyes For Masks Question - stainboy - 08-04-2006

I\'m looking at putting some glass eyes in my displays....but I can\'t figure out (or at least be relatively comfortable) in choosing which size to go with.

Here are the sizes:

6MM Iris X 9 MM Base
9 MM Iris x 12 MM Base
14 MM Iris x 24 MM Base
16 MM Iris x 26 MM Base
18 MM Iris x 28 MM Base
20 MM Iris x 30 MM Base

I want it to fit a normal lifesized head or mask. Any help?

Scarlett\'s hubby, Gristle here...!You will want to go with a 20 to 24mm base. Measure the eye from corner to corner in millimeters. I use the eyes from Anatomical Chart Company. They fit almost anything. Buck-fifty a pair. Van Dykes Taxidermy also sells human eyes. AND, they give out FREE catalogs: www.vandykestaxidermy.com Just ask for one...!

cool thing about van dykes is that they\'re affordable. You can order a few sizes without breaking the bank.
