Redrandy93 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 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.

Brother Tyler Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 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.

Redrandy93 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 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.

Redrandy93 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 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.

Bung Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 You could look into alternatives. There should be other scale modelling suppliers doing such stuff. AK Interaktive for example.

Redrandy93 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 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!

Bung Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 You could try a german shop, DHL still ships world wide and german postage is rather cheap.
