I think Tony made the eyes the same way I do, from small white beads. They were about 4mm diameter since the idea was not to have large eyes but to stick with realistic proportions. I usually have bigger heads and 7mm or 11mm eye beads. You countersink the iris area around the hole in the bead, fill the hole and paint it black, and paint the iris around it. Then you fill the hollow with a drop of clear 5 minute epoxy adhesive, so it stands up slightly, to create the corneal bulge. Easy in the bigger sizes but very difficult in 4mm!
