Shadowtrooper binoculars

[Halycon[PR-CMD]]

Greetings SpecOps brothers....

what do you think about my self made binoculars?

Should i sand the surface or leave it like that, i think it looks kinda more used if  i leave it like it is.

greetings Sebastian

Looking good. I dig it.

Just my opinion, but you should definitely sand these print lines down. Hit it with some filler primer and paint gloss black.
This is an awesome idea and they look awesome!

I agree with @Devolver   Id get rid of the print lines as much as possible and add weathering (silver scuffing) afterwards to gice it the used look.

Looks good! Do you have a thread of the making of it? I’m interested how.. i would also vote to sand it down

Nah sorry, i just got the printed parts from a vendor. Sanded the front parts and painted it black. The lenses are cut out of clear plastic i had at home, then put some red reflecting foil on the inside of the eye parts. I get my new dremel next week, i think ill work on it next weekend again. Thnx for the replies bros, really apreciateted.

Roger that!

Here we go with an update. After sanding and new painting i used a hairdryer on the wet color on top, to give it a kind of a worn and chipped look.

I probably use some silver and rust color mix  when its completely dried on that parts, to make it look like a real in the field binocular.... stay tuned!

[Halycon[PR-CMD]]

And i changed the color of the lenses from red to blue, with a more realistic look...

 

and here the paint works for the used look... thats it for today, now dry baby

[Devolver[501st]]

Looking good! I like the blue lenses better, good call.
