Who Sells Lenses made by grief Accessories

[Redrandy93]

Brothers,

 

I am trying to find a store in USA that carries the different size and color lenses made by Grief.   They are nice lenses.   Sprue brothers has some but I want the red 1 mm lenses.    Any help is appreciated.   If this is in the wrong folder please move it to the proper place.

Presumably you're talking about this product (I had a hard time finding this until I stumbled upon the spelling GREIF, in all caps). Have you contacted Sprue Brothers Models to see when the product might be back in stock? GREIF Miniatures is a Mexican company, as evidenced by their Facebook page, and their non-Facebook homepage isn't up and running yet. Have you contacted them via Facebook to see which retailers might provide their product, both online and B&M? If you don't read/write Spanish and don't know anyone that might translate for you, you can always try Google Translate (or perhaps a Spanish speaker here might help you).

 

Do you have any pictures of this product in any of your models? I can see these having a variety of uses, not least of which might be spiritstones for the Aeldari in addition to weapon/sensor lenses.

Brother Tyler I bought a dozen packs from Sprue Brothers.        I used the green 1 mm lenses  for the targeters on the Devastors helmets as they did not have any 1mm red ones.    The lenses are really good for sensors/ targeters as you suggested.     They come in 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.3 mm and 3 mm.    They come in red, green, amber and clear.  The large ones I used on one of the Dreadnaughts I am repainting.      I  have no pictures.     How do you post photos?     The lenses are half round shape.     I will try GRIEF's facebook page and see if I can get a response from them.

 

Thanks for your comments.

Brother Tyler Sprue Brothers got back to me concerning GREIF Minatures resin lenses.   They have not heard from them in several years.    I guess they no longer are in business as the Greif Facebook page does not show the resin lenses but a lot of nice paints.    I was very disappointed to say the least.    I may buy more of the 1 mm green lenses as I only have one pack left.

You could look into alternatives.

There should be other scale modelling suppliers doing such stuff.

AK Interaktive for example.

AK Inter active has them.            I was in contact with AK and the shipping costs to USA is very high for such a small item.     I would have to order over $195 Euros to get free shipping.         I did find an ebay store that has some of them on order.       I also contacted Sprue Brothers that AK interactive is making them.   Hopefully they decide to order from them.     I really want to use a  USA  store to get the items quicker.   Coming from over seas will take too long for the projects I want to do.

I appreciate the help Bung.   I love this forum because of all the helpful people!

You could try a german shop, DHL still ships world wide and german postage is rather cheap.
