Luke Skywalker macrobinoculars

[phljohnson]

Just posting some images of my first ever prop build. A screen accurate replica of Luke's macrobinoculars from ANH. Started this as a covid project during lockdown and finally finished. Almost all original sourced components, with exceptions as follows:

3D resin printed wedge, EIAJ box, and interior knob B&H gray piece (printed a slimmer version to accommodate the mechanism that allows knob to turn). Thanks to FolkyPatrol (Constant) at Etsy for his amazing 3D models.

Resin cast of ONE Kalamar lens.

Transition box and belt clip by Sci-Fi Collectibles LLC.

Lens plate by Dark Energy Creations.

Enjoy!

Awesome job! If you decide to look for that second Kaligar lens, don’t get frustrated. I finally found one after two years of almost daily hunting.

I always have my eye out. If I see a reasonable price, I’ll grab it!

Gorgeous prop you have there! Perhaps one day I'll be able to add the Macrobinoculars to my collection. That is truly a work of art my friend!
