Upgraded Ammonite Modelsin Manitoba

Danny from Manitoba takes models of ammonites (squids that went out with the dinosaurs 66 million years ago) and 10-ups them with spray paint, connecting them with magnets, and adding glass eye cabochons from handmadeglasseyes.com.

Describing his process, Danny writes, "I bought these 3D printed models from a dealer on eBay. They are white plastic and their eyes were little more than small featureless bumps. So...I spray painted the models, attached them by magnets to "plastic rocks" meant for aquarium decor and thought I'd paint the eyes. On second thought messing up the eyes by a shaky hand would just ruin the whole model so what better way to add eyes than to find tiny glass ones! So I Googled "small glass eyes", found your site..and the rest is history!"

Danny sent me an email stating, "Thank you Megan for providing such great looking "eyes" to bring my creatures to life!"
