Here's my first-ever Ecto Goggles I built, using Norm's plans.

Only took about 2 days, due to waiting for the paint to dry since it was still stickie.
I sealed the paint on the goggles and black eye pieces with Modge Podge.

No more stickies!

I added the side "knobs" and "power switch" to the bottom, by looking at photos of the actual props.

I plan on adding some green LEDs when time allows.

The side "knobs" are just plastic water bottle caps painted flat black and the "switch" on the bottom is just a small knob, screw and metal pice I found in a junk drawer, painted black, too. The "power switch" as well as the "side knobs", actually turn as well.

The Goggle body is painted flat black and satin oregano (Rust-O-leum) to give it a dark, olive drab look.

I also added some small screws to where the elastic straps attach to, and held in place with hot glue.

Overall, I'm quite happy the way they turned out.

Looks good. I'm about to start my goggle build. Just waiting on Nickatron's kit and some metal parts from Franchesky. So excited to get started on this.

Much thanks, robpenfold. They were a lot of fun and easy to build. Plus they look great in person.
Good luck with your own goggles. Yes, it is exciting to build new props, isn't it?

Please check out my proton pack build if and when you have the chance.
