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.

Wow, no comments yet? This looks very nice! The only thing I would change is the blue dials... make them really brass/gold.
