Eyelids
I saw the pic below in the gallery, and I was wondering where Sindy got those fine looking eyelids...then I see that 'dschoeck' posted with the same curiosity. I bought some off of ebay, and they don't fit anything like Sindy's...
as a matter of fact, they DON'T FIT AT ALL!
anyone have any information (SINDY) on where I can get some of these PROPER fitting eyelids?!?

Me either. Luckily Gambler had black ones left over and I got some. Yet to put on though.

If you get some vinyl, You get a foot or so, a little trial and error , you can do it.
I got some black for Scaleguy, came out nice, and painless.
PS. be aware that you`ll have members commenting about stick on items though... But don`t give in and use screws.

Yea I will try that out, the ones off ebay didnt fit good at all, I would have rather been better off using electrical tape or something..not that I would or anything haha. But it would have looked better than the ones that I bought.

HilsDalHHR is corrrect, I made them myself.
While sitting on a chair to help have a steady hand, I took the oversized vinyl 'template' (rough cut to approximate size) and placed the bottom straight edge at the existiing horizontal lines of the gaps on either side of the light lens as my guide. With an exacto knife blade, I trimmed the vinyl along the top edge (in the gap between the lens and body) of the lens careful not to cut into the lens itself. Cutting not on the front face of the lens but up into the gap along the top. What little extra there was, I tucked it so it would stick onto the horizontal top edge of the lens.
I don't know how else to describe how I did it. I hope that helps!
