Quartermaster Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Just finished a conversion of a toy Sub Assault game to a pair of Binocs. I know they are not screen accurate, but I came across this item very cheap and thought it would look good until I can get my hands on something more accurate. Game still works too! I am also thinking about doing a conversion on these Eye Clops night vision goggles. They are pretty cool looking and actually work also as real binocs. Feedback is always appreciated! Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Those are sweet! If you want to really have fun... contact the WoodChuck and ask him how much a "shell" for the night goggles would cost! He makes a sweet set of Macrobinoculars, and I know he loves doing "special projects" like that. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 I actually did contact Woodchuck about getting some. He said he had nothing available right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant ask him if you send him the night goggles if he would make a 'case' for them that LOOKS like the binocs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 That sounds like a killer idea! I will PM him and see if that's a possibility! Thanks Noel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for looking! How did you convert the Sub Assault game into a pair of Binoculars? I have one of those games and have been wondering how you guys did that? IF you can post some pics that would help! Thanks! ShortTrooper (Diana) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos during the process of converting it. I basically fine sanded the whole unit. Ihen shot it with a coat or two of Krylon flat black Fusion paint for plastics. The next coat was silver paint. The last coat was an off white. Once dried, I lightly sanded using very fine finishing type sanding block on the edges, corners and some of the flat areas to give it a weathered/worn look. I attached a small knob to the top with a screw. The large lens in the front is a plumbing trap fitting ring and the smaller one is a plastic bottle cap. The lens material is a reflective plastic sheet material I had leftover from my helmet lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
