Built these over the past week, following Norm’s plans (mostly). I’m still working on putting some clear plastic or something in the lenses so they don’t look empty, and I need to figure out how I want to attach the top band. Additionally, I’m considering sanding down the sides to smooth them out better and then repainting those areas. What do you guys think? And yes, I know the color is a little off, it’s the closest I could find. Nobody around here seems to sell olive drab. ---

I kind of like the colour. Definitely sand those side blocks down and fill the gaps with bondo though. ---

It’s odd, they look almost tan in the pictures, but in real life they appear significantly more green. I think it’s the camera flash. Also, anyone know where I can get “adjustment knob” looking things for cheap? I want to add a couple more. ---

OK, they’re almost done. I sanded and repainted the side blocks, as well as added adjusters, the vertical strap, and one of the lenses. I just have to cut the other one, and then I think they’re finished. ---

How did you attach those blocks? Did you use some sort of caulking to fill the seams between the goggles and the blocks? Would the non-rigid sides cause the filled seeams to crack? ---

The blocks are screwed on from the inside, then I used Goop to fill in the seams. They move with the body well enough, and the Goop is flexible enough, that I don’t think I have to worry about cracking too much. If it becomes an issue, I’ll certainly let you guys know. ---

What did you use for the top of the head strap? ---

I used a random elastic band I had lying around, I think it was originally from an MP3 player armband.
