I used plastic from a soda bottle.

It molded quite nicely under the heat from a hair dryer.
Pressed it into shape with the box from a a giant sized
Toblerone ( no joke!) http://www.toblerone.com/
Spray painted it from the inside to get it black.

All,
I formed the lens for my R7 main eye. Tried boiling the acrillic in the end just hed it in the eye over the burners with tongs and used an ice cream scoop to push it to shape. What do you think?
