Hollow half-domes ?

[zizi666]

Made a quick setup to see if the proportions are good and I feel the "head" is a bit too small. Gonna look around some more hoping to find something about 12 to 14 mm dia.

Well, they do make bigger googly eyes!

Try medical supplies.

Lots of tablets and even contact lenses will come in these clear blisters.

If you know anyone who works in a doctor's surgery or a hospital then they might know of something that can work.

Here are some thoughts;

Cosmetics - caps for under arm deodorants, lipstick caps and plastic covers for make-up brushes.

Christmas - search out Christmas tree decorations, I have seen some plastic balls with decorations inside - although these might be a little too big.

Electronics - Maplins in the UK sell light bulb covers in clear, coloured and misted. These might work.

Good luck.

Well' I returned to the arts shop and would you know, they happend to have hollow domes 
Probably the same as in that second link from Steve F.
Anyway, bought the 14,3mm ones and already fabricated the supports and the brains got their paint and are drying as we speak. Still have to look at the wiring towards the brain as well as the plate on the back of the dome (although that seems to much trouble for what it is)

Don't think so, those things are mostly full cast, and as said, I found the correct stuff and already finished the conversion

Heh, I'm also looking for some domes for the same model, and funnily enough followed a link in another thread to the eModels site for some bottles. I think I'll give them a shot. Thanks for creating this thread zizi666, pretty helpful.

Just wasn`t here a while cause of stressy Job and anyone forgot the stuff I wrote. Life of a Forum Nerd 

Here you can see how I made my Robobraindomes with the schuckertz Stuff. They have a great quality. I used a roundhole gauge and a Hammer to seperate the dome from the frame. The yellowish color is easy to make with a yellow permanent marker.

Doh! Why didn't I think of that...

Holiday lights, aka Christmas lights. Some types have little spherical faux-bulbs over the LEDs that are on one side or the other of 10mm. Sometimes glass, but often plastic these days. Think they're called "globe" lights. Lots of different varieties and thus sizes to choose from, plus, y'know, handfuls of cheap LEDS as a bonus.
