I came across one of the coolest pair of sunglasses I had ever owned. I thought these were long gone, and it turns up that they were hiding in storage for a few years. These are a pair of Black Flies known officially as "Damian Flies III". Back in High School these were the brand of shades I sported. I always enjoyed the esoteric "Black Fly" vibe as opposed to the "Oakley" type vibe.  Originally these were modeled after insect appendages and the third evolution really enticed me into buying a pair.

The truly intriguing thing about these are the hoses that mimic Zoid hoses perfectly. Also, the talons on each lend a distinctly reptilian feel. 

The re-discovery of these babies gave me a vision. A vision to create authentic looking Dark Zoid themed sunglasses. So I had some time (which is very rare of late) to "darth" these into true DPZ eye wear. With some paint and some Dark Zoid stickers I made a mini project of creating them them.

I used some custom Dark Zoid Green and Gun Metal paint that I had mixed up. I also used some spectra chrome on the sides. The project came out as expected and I am happy with the results.
