Re: [SGII] The Eyes Have It.

I've done eyes on 6mm figures. Not that I'm nuts or anything. They were 
GW Orks, which have enough of a depression in the eye sockets that you 
can slap red on for they eyes, and then do the faces in green. Easier 
than it sounds, and if some of the eyes get slopped over nobody will
notice.
