Vidi Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 *This* I like. Can you tell us what you used for the main body of the binos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck_ Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I purchased a pack of different size containers from K-mart (not sure if you have Kmart) I think it had about 6 different sizes, these are like small cereal containers I looked for ones that had the angles on the side so it wouldn't look so round. I used a smaller container shell for the front visor, old torch parts, milk lids, old camera parts that I pulled apart and balsa wood if you need more info let me know cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraulein Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 That is real ace. Making things look like other things. Just like the originals. I thought the container looked familiar. We have one like that at work that we store the sugar in. I like the use of the torch bits. That was how I made my Splinter Cell goggle lenses.

Ruthar Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 That looks fantastic! Excellent work. If you're ever thinking of doing a run of them, you certainly have at least one potential buyer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck_ Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Wow, Guys Thanks for the positive feedback, i think it was a lot easier to make than my MG15! Not sure if i will build more, if there is a few people i may think about it ?? - probably cheaper to build yourself anyway What i suggest is to use old torch parts (police or security torch's size) as tons of people have these around and not using them as they are "not " LED if you need more info just ask Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
