    Been curious as to what peoples opinions are on these. I ordered a set of each to try because I'm never 100% satisfied/happy with my own sculpted eyesets and because I am still in the "try different techniques and products" stage of my learning process.

    I have found a limited amount of info about the synchron eyes and nothing about the second 2 nature jim allred eye sets... I have a pretty good idea what a lot of responses are going to be... something along the lines of "snap together taxidermy ... blah blah ... learn to sculpt it yourself out of clay..." I also would bet that alot of those responses would be coming from guys who use earliners and manufactured ear butts as opposed to bondo and clay. To whom my response would be: "whats the difference? why is it pertinent that I learn to sculpt my own eye sets but I should not sculpt ears and instead rely on manufactured ears and earbutts in order to achieve the most anatomically correct results?

    some will even use a molded noise in stead of molding the form they got.

    A lot of times products that you would think need good instructions come with less than adequate instructions. Many years ago, I toyed with the idea of trying both of those, however, looking at a the pictures in the catalog, I saw what seemed like discrepancies that were less than appealing.

    If you get them, I would be interested in how they worked for you.

    Well they’re on the way. Nothing ventured nothing gained. I’ll keep y’all posted.

    I use Second-2-Nature (22N) forms with the cheapest eyes on the market. I set them myself using Critter Clay. There is a learning curve to get them correct in 22N mannikins.
