FIVE Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Nice! Can you post some pics of you holding them? Or of them with human hands at least... just to show scale? Oh... and where can you find these?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aideon Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I have a pair somewhere around the house. They are tiny little things, not quite to the scale of the Simrad binocs. If I can find my pair in the next few days and there aren't pics, I'll post some up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Productions Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 To be honest you can't beat the price. Seeing that you hardly have to modify them, even if they are a little small.... Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slave1pilot Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 You did a great job painting those up. And I agree, for the price the details are really pretty accurate ( except the large lens on the front is on the wrong side) the only drawback would be the size.I saw them at Toys-R-Us & they looked tiny to me. I tried to take some shots of my full-size Binocs in the same way as your pics for a comparison Mine are next to an MR CE bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCORCH Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Yes...thanks for those comparison pics...you can see the size differance....yours do look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Dude, you have some mad paint skills, and the faded logo is dope. I'd say the small size is a plus for trooping actually - easier to carry around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewback Jockey Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 TKyoda I really dig your banner - did you do it yourself? looks great - I need to make one someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCORCH Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 TKyoda I really dig your banner - did you do it yourself? looks great - I need to make one someday. Yes and thanks...I used PS Photoshop...and my daughter took the pics.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks for the pics guys. They are a bit small, but they're really good for being 'as is' pretty much!! I don't know if I'm going to make my own or what. That's def something on the horizon though... no pun intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The WoodChuck Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Woodchuck here. Hey, I used that same model to make these. I still have one set left if anyone wants it. PM me. Great paint job on yours, and they do look very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great paint job on yours, and they do look very realistic. Nice job on the toy version TDyoda!!! That being said, I got Woodchuck's test version of these Binocs and I still have people freak out when they see it. Grab this while you can!!!!
