Default Clown Binoculars?

I'm in process of making some giant binoculars and although they look OK, they could look nicer. Anyone else attempt this and can give me any ideas? Thanks and grins.

There is a type of rubber used to coat tool handles which might give a nice finished look. I don't know if this stuff can be used on just anything though. For instance it may or may not work on styrofoam, but would look nice if used on SHOQ's idea..

Yep, sounds sounds good, Pat. Then you make them blink like Paul Jung's did.

Fwiw,

I couple years ago I built a "Ring around the collar" Prop. It looks like a giant finger ring that you wear around your neck.....Any way. I built it using a large styrofoam wreath form, and A large styrofoam ball. I used something called Modge-Podge to seal it so it wouldn't take a ton of paint. It does a great job. It also makes the foam very hard like concrete. The prop has held up very well.
