Presumably these won't be metal though right?

Nice to see this may happen. This has been a huge need for a long time since Rainman started re-releasing sculpts. I don't need one, but did at one point in the past.

 

[Jbeltram4]

Cmon folks...don't be shy. Guaranteed you'll find cheaper, but you ain't finding better quality and authenticity than these. If you splurged for a Dude sculpt or bought full set from anywhere, you need these.

I looked and looked, and found nothing even close a couple years back.

 

[Levit05]

what were you looking for for Kara?

 

[Darthy]

I'm not sure since I'm also waiting for someone to do shoes + torso. You can put me on the list though.

 

[Stealth V3teran]

[Random0ne]

[transhi100]

[Levit05]

ok guys, updated....also if anyone cares to post clear pics of the sun glasses the make and brand and what type of shade the lens might may be...that would definitely help out this project...David and Jon have an idea but would like some input from the eagle eyes on the board....thanks and we are almost there...

Jon can make it in resin, but why? I know "The Dude" is wearing plastic frames, but Jon would to make the frame of metal in order to make the silicone the mold...it would be just as expensive. Plus, the temple or arm would have to be glued on, not soldered. I think most people here would like for him to use whatever medium he chooses. Don't worry. They will come out exquisite. That I promise you. Ask 5 of the people from the list. They have all bought Jon's customs previously. Most of them, 2 or more times.

You rang??

This is what I dug up on the fly, but I can try to find more out tomorrow and get better reference shots.

I found this thread on The RPF and it seems that most people say that they are tortoise-shell Vuarnet 003's but some believe that they're Ray Ban CATS 4000 (see #385, p.16). The first post says that they used a darker lens than the stock one

The Big Lebowski Costume Thread

Both of those frames are near identical so for 1/6 purposes either or would be good reference to get the basic shape. So that's the style but we just need to get good screen shots to figure out the color of both the lens and frame
