SciFi/SteamPunk Binoculars Prop
This is an Instructable about a SciFi/SteamPunk style binoculars prop. KEEP IN MIND! THESE AREN"T ACTUAL BINOCULARS THEY ARE A PROP! I got the idea from Indy Mogul. The design for this was completely random, to a point. I mostly got together different materials and put it on to my liking.
