not really, I thought it would be, but it was pretty easy

Josh, did you use the same Dremel tool for this 'round' cut as for the other more angular cuts?

sure did...my trusty Dremel and the 2 bits is all I need to go nuts and make all of this. Thinking about a Penny next. I figure that if I could get a Romeo right the first time, Penny should be a piece of cake!! We will see...

and a +red penny will be he closest you'll get to the pennys in X-men, I love ruby but its just not THAT faithfull a reproduction of the actual colour in the film...get prop blinders too and you'll have one of the sweetest items on the forum, nice!

only have these in positive red...was busy "chopping" tonight...

very nice josh, again, you should teach us, ow great jedi chopping master.

very nice.

now one question how many lenses can you get from one m frame lens ?

Hi, my name is....and I am a Chop-o-holic....You can get 1 pair of lenses from an M Frame, unless you have some oddly small lens you are making. Here is what was left over after 3 of my infamous chop sessions...***DISCLAIMER*** Images that will be presented may be too graphic for some viewers, please feel free to cover your eyes if you can't handle the gruesome remains of what used to be an M Frame lens...

the true Chop-chop master. can't wait for your Penny +Red project.

rest in pieces,

I got these lenses a few days ago.. man, they are crazy. NO yellow, purple/dark red everywhere and only a lil bit blue in it. Now I understand why Josh is so crazy about +red. They are awesome. That's what ruby should look like - deep red/purple from the outside and grey from the inside.

I have a believer now!! HAHA, that is almost the closest thing to the infamous Ruby Quartz, and you can now see why the T_O Carbon + Red Pennys go nuts...Who Chopped those up? Looks good

Connrog made them (he posted the ch customs, they should arrive soon)!
But I'm really impressed - the gc lenses are big enough to show the beautiful red/purple blue, but still small enough to not have the yellow edges.

very nice..... congrats.

Man those GC's are awesome.

i need to get out there and cut this m frame + red lense for my pennys. ive seen total o have a copper/ +red penny anyone have a pics of this model?

I think Jason has a Carbon + Red penny...Those bad boys will put a FAT dent in your wallet, oooppppsssss, I mean money clip

I don't have a Carbon\+Red Penny but I do have a Black Chrome Juliet with +Red

my bad, wwwwaaaaayyyyyyy bad....Sickness

@jason: holy s***t!!!! that is one sick juliet! makes me want to cry for not having one, very nice.

i hope that the black chrome/ +red will be a new color for the juliet this coming year. maybe even a romeo 2.0 color.

Jason, those are reallllllllllly NICE!!!!!!!!! Great score man!! Congrats!!!!!!!

jason...those look amazing. wow. you have made that combo what i want next.

SWEEEET!!! How did you get that, Jason?! I want one too!

Hey Victor - I think it's not easy to replicate Jasons Juliet... you can cut the lenses, ok. But that frame colour is not carbon... and it has the hammer stems.
I don't have one... but I think that is the craziest factory custom total-o ever sold (2 times I think, correct?).

Josh - you really infected me with that +red stuff. And I mean that in a good way - I'm not going to spend any money on rubbysh or that dirty-24k-called-fire in the foreseeable future.

I'm more into Crosshairs than Juliets and today a package from Connor (thanks man!) arrived with 2 pairs of new Crosshair lenses, one was this here:



It's pretty hard not to strike a pose wearing them... you automatically try to look c o o l *lol:



If someone can help me getting red crosshair icons and rubbers - please pm me!
