Looks awesome!!

How did you remove the black lens?

Why the screw on the bottom of the grey knob?

Thank you! The screw on the grey knob is just here as a decoration.

For the lenses, there are kind of plastic hook easy to remove with flat screwdrivers.

Upgraded with GBFans metallic stickers, and made “cover nose” with milliput.

Tutorial? [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

What paint did you use & what did you use for the foam cushion?

LeBloop · March 19, 2016, 11:20am

Sorry i’ve not take step by step pics… Did it freestyle, and my english is too bad to explain correctly what I did :-/

The paint I’ve used is Revell-34146 NATO Olive for the mask.

The foam cushion is a sticker sheet of foam found on model shop.

You can read some threads on this forum to help you how to disconnect the parts.

For the short lense I’ve cut it and add a pvc tube to extend it and use milliput to catch the diameter.

The thumb nails are from VGA cable.

For the straps on the sides the “rivets” are the stuff to hide screws on wood

If you have questions, feel free to ask, I can try to answer.

hey LeBloop,

looks cool.

What did you use for the padding and with what glue do you fix it?

LeBloop · April 20, 2016, 4:36pm

Hi! Thank you, I really love these goggles now^^

For padding the goggles I’ve used a self-adhesive sheet of foam found on model shop, 10mm thick. So no glue required.

hm.. i used self.adhesive foam too and it didnt hold very good

LeBloop · April 23, 2016, 4:53pm

Mine is from Graupner/SJ brand (German model brand) and is very strong adhesive. Don’t know if it can find where you are, but if it can, go for it!

Maverick1983 · April 26, 2016, 11:54am

Ahhh ok, i know Graupner, of course

For what is the foam used? So i know what i have to search for

?

LeBloop · April 26, 2016, 4:16pm

I have no idea for what is it use in model…

It’s look like that in the link, I don’t speak German, but if is it self-adhesive, this is it!
