Headlight lenses
I use the clear sprues saved from kits to make my lenses. We make the form using a file.

We polish the form surface with the rear part of sandpaper.

We cut the piece with a homemade scriber.

We polish the other side with the rear part of sandpaper too. Now, the glass is ready.

That build blog was one of the absolute most informative sets of posts that I've ever read anywhere! I'm very glad the blog has been captured for posterity in a regular feature article. Not only is Pedro Andrada an extroidinarly talented model builder, he has a great eye for picking out the most instructive points in his build to share! A rare combination of characteristics. We were all very fortunate that he took the time and effort to document and explain his work so thoroughly! Thanks again, Pedro!

My deepest thanks again for sharing your work with us Pedro. If you ever wrote a book on this subject I'd buy it for certain. Hopefully I'll get some time this coming holiday season to try your techniques for myself. Cheers and all the best

Hi Pedro, You are a master, pure and simple. These two are my favorite from your impressive selection of scratchbuilds, the fact they are 1/72 is crazy. Best, Mike
