bobcat eyes

Submitted by j hermanns on 3/13/02. ( ) 148.78.247.10

Well, thankfully I ordered a posi eye set rug shell, because I still have a hard time getting eyes set correctly - even with an eye graph. This is my dilema. When I set the eyes in the socket they look to be set at the correct angle. However, on the eye graph it says to set vertical cant at 90 degrees. From what points do you take this measurement on the mannikin? I would like to know so that I don't always have to use posi-set mannikins.
Thanks Juli

I set mine at 90 degrees,straight up and down then rotate so the pupil is on a 10 degree slant.


Just eye ball it!

My second mount ever was a bobcat rug. I had the bobcat A to Z With Jan Van Hoosen. The head is the main part of the mount and everyone that looks at it, looks at the eyes and head. If you are a begginer and have the extra cash I would purchase this video! It was a life saver for me! You can E-mail me if you run into a problem! I am a begginer myself but I learned a lot with this one!
