Does anyone know how to paint goggles on a 1/35th figure? I'm sure there are other forums on this, but my searching turned up nothing.

Thanks!

Do you mean paint goggles on a face wich has no goggles? About all you could do is sculpt some out of a putty, or some kits do come with seperately molded goggles you attach after paitning is complete. Or if yo are asking how to make the lenses look real you can use a small drill bit and file to open the glass areas up and attach the goggles after the face is finished and then use a good white glue that dries clear or micro's krystal clear by putting a drop in each eye hole. When this dries youcan see the painted eyes very well. If the goggles are molded on to the face then all you can do is paint the goggles a leather color and use a dark blue ( almost black ) gloss paint for the lenses.

For the lenses of the goggles you can use a base of silver to give it some reflectability, and then go over the silver with some clear blue or clear green, failing that, take a little bit of future and add a touch of food coloring to it so color it....and when you put the future on it will be like a clear color.

Looks good
