I'm not sure that eyes on the hand puppet are glass. I've seen every image of Galileo's hand puppet and I think he just putted a lot of varnish to get that glossy effect. But on some of his busts there are glass eyes.
Yeah, I know about last pic that it's fatherfantom's but I was lazy to write.
Sorry, my mistake on mass produced comment, you are probably right.
Well, we can discuss as much as we want, but Paul said no to glass eyes, so there is no point.
I think the Perot museum Rex are painted eyes.

I thought they were because of the massive difference beetween them and the ones painted by Manuel Unda on the bust, but maybe you are right.

I've always thought these were some kind of bird glass eyes, or maybe crafted by the studio, just doesn't looks painted or bidimensional to me.

Spoiler
Well, in this case they've done 10 times better job on it compared to this other model from the studio:

The pic you've posted is from 1/16 scale maquette, a lot smaller model

I have to disagree with paul, i've seen some amazing taxidermy eyes in small models is just about how much effort you put into it.... Galileo has made some amazing glass eyes for small models like the 1:18 bull t rex he made years ago and they dont look like cheap doll eyes, i must know i own two
(i attach pictures of one painted by Manuel Unda and the very first copy of this model owned by the same person who commisioned this model to Galileo Hernandez)



Speaking of the perot model, i think its a mix between painted and acrylic eyes, the eyeball is painted and then an acrylic coat is set on top to give it that deep look here is a picture

He is not doing glass eyes people. Get over it!!! You are going to annoy them and they are going to end up stopping producing pieces.

Is not about forcing them to add glass eyes Tamaboy, i just find curious paul saying glass eyes in this scale would look like doll eyes and well there's pictures proving you can have amazing glass eyes in small models, i think it's more about the price and the effort you need to put into each piece to avoid googly eyes
