Rogue One concept Rebel binoculars

Lol. NO! [emoji28]
I have no idea. Was thinking of asking you guys what would be the best thing to do.

Just a quick tip for all you future builders. Get your camera's while they're still cheap. You know what's gonna happen when this thing gets hot. Just saying.

Separate eye pieces under the hood like the Hoth electro's is the way I'm going. Still can't score any GAFs so I'll have to run with Chinons :(
 
Received my cabochons this weekend so I was able to finish the Graflex buttons and glue them to the front. I used 10mm glass cabochons.
The two bodies are loosly bolted together. Once I finish the control panel that goes on top of the left body I'll glue/bolt everything together.

Okay. So what do you guys think? Option number 1 or 2.
Personally I think number is the most logical option.

311jSv09RML.jpgco ax connectors broken down make a good substitute if you don't want to shell out for graflex buttons.
 
So I have been playing around with the viewfinder for this baby. Started with a cardboard dummy to get the overall shape and measurments.
I then translated this onto a sheet of aluminum from the hardware store.

The only problem right now is that when I made this it was really hot and it had a perfect fit. But now it is colder and there is a tiny little seam between the body and the viewfinder. It's only 1mm or less and they're not yet attached though but still.

Thank you Marcus.
And I modified the recessed/unrecessed part. Thanks for the tip.

That's the one! :)

At the moment I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to have an accessible battery and electronics compartment. I think I'll use the hinge of the compartment that's facing down, and cut a new opening end that's not so close to the other camera.

I'll be putting a red laser pointer into the coaxial box. And lamps or LEDs into the miniature lenses. At the moment I'm busy stripping out all the unnecessary internals, which is a fun puzzle!
 
That coaxial box is a tough one. It's so small. Looks like the male and female parts are connected (just like the ANH macro) AND there's a LED next to it.
But that laserpointer is a very good idea. It's not accurate but it sure makes sence.
Dying to see what you come up with.

I've bought old binoculars and they should be arriving soon. Gonna use the eye pieces for the viewfinder.
