I’ve been experimenting with a goggles shell that didn’t print entirely correctly and I’ve decided to make my second set of goggles Frozen Empire style.

This means I’ve had to modify the Goons' goggles to have some larger holes in certain places and new holes in others as well as the other tweaks id made for twiddlable side knobs. The FE version is fairly similar to 84 style (unlike the Afterlife polaroid version) and pretty much just have a bingfu WiFi antenna on the left side, some sort of lens in the middle and a cable port of some sort underneath. Cabling will come out from the antenna, through the cable tie and into the back. It won’t actually be connected to anything, it’s purely decorative.

I wasn’t 100% sure on what the whitish/clear lens thing was in the middle of the front but given the usage of modern uk-findable off-the-shelf parts used for other aspects of the production, I settled on a clear cliplite CLB300 with a black rubber washer.
The images weren’t clear enough to ID the exact type of cable so I’ve gone for vga simply because they’re easy to find.
The controller, I think, is a Saitek PX2500 originally for PlayStation. There is a Saitek P750 which is almost identical and comes with a combined pc gameport and usb connector on the end of its cable, but gameport... ports... are hard to find these days. Plus, that version contains the letters ABCD on the pads and the bts footage shows clearly /\ O X [] but with the x and square swapped around and angled to make a cross and a diamond.
I’m going to use another bingfu WiFi antenna and also a vhf/uhf telescopic antenna along with a red toggle. Most of the rest is just decorative cabling.

I think I’ve got everything I need to start building, apart from a toggle for the bottom, which I need to wait for before modelling the right-sized hole in the goggles shell. Hopefully, that comes soon, and then I can print and assemble everything.
