Here's a not so brief description of how to make convincing eye splices for ship models. There are some things that were beyond my ability to film effectively, so I'm including a link to a video on full sized eye splicing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeYBkMCQ8WY). Hopefully, this will fill in any informational gaps in my attempt. And please, no comments about how I have to get to a nail salon. I have a mani-pedi scheduled for right after the holidays.
