I hope you have a way to salvage the lenses otherwise this will be a bad waste.

not really since some of them are not working and besides I paid 140$ for 22 of them (you can get them by the ton on eBay)
and if the final sculpture will look as expected then it's no waste at all transforming some industrially produced objects into one unique piece of art

industrially produced? yes all of them wil be industrially produced there are no hand made lenses. I repair these lenses, and people who know the value of them, would still consider this a waste, but anyways you get to have your artistic license after all.

yeah yeah me too but there is a small problem - the polystyrene is a little too fragile to hold all those lenses so I'll have to find another sphere (wood or hard plastic, or maybe just reinforce this one) we'll see

deci ar fi super sa-l faci functional

da ar fi ceva
va fi o varianta "functionala" adica animata in 3d

Hehe...this reminds me of a childhood toy called the "Bumble Ball": [link]

Very nice reuse of "found" camera parts! Can't wait to see the completed model!

yeah well i bought 22 lenses from a guy on eBay for about 140EUR with transport included
so it's not that much - but unfortunately I will have to put them on a metal/wood/plastic sphere cause the polystyrene is way too fragile for such a load
anyway in the end it will probably cost a whole damn lot

I was wondering about that, I presumed it was maybe dense and weighted, but still - that wouldn't really work, would it.. O_o
Mhm! Awesome as hell, though.
