Using Hot Glue to Hold the Radar Lens

Installing the Radar Lens if fairly simple.  Using a hot glue gun, simply go around the edge of the lens, where it meets with the Radar Eye, with a bead of hot glue.  I filled the inside of my Radar Eye with resin to make it easier to attach the lens.

Start with applying a bead of hot glue to the lens and the back of the radar eye.

Once secure, and the glue has dried, paint it black to hide and parts that might be see through from the clear glue.

Do the same thing for the inside of the lens from the front of the Radar Eye.  Any mistake can always be repainted.  Take your time and do it right.  Even masking tape can help cover stuff prior to painting.

Making a Radar Eye Lens


The Radar Eye lens is very simple to make. You will need a 4″ half sphere and black spray paint. It doesn’t get much simpler than this. Place the sphere and mark it where it meets with the inside you your Radar Eye. Cut that line and paint the inside of it black. Test the fit and see how it fits inside the Radar Eye while on the dome. You can secure it by using hot glue or JB Weld.

After the Radar Eye fits with the dome, side panel is bonded together and put onto the Radar Eye and allowed to dry. Tape the side of the Radar Eye and the Side Panel so you don’t get JB Weld on the parts.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download

Now that the Side Panel has dried, peel the tape off and attach the side detail made of .030 styrene, with plastic cement and trim off the excess once it dries. The dried cement can also be applied to the seams and trimmed down to make it look like one hole piece.
