Yea, I really liked the idea of the magnifying glass... I'm gonna see if I can make a techy looking one with different lenses - normal, red (infrared), green (night vision), and purpley (ultraviolet)...
Thanks for the suggestions guys
Edit: So this is what I'm thinking of trying to make for Nightbeat... If I can, I will it so you can pull the "glass" out and replace it with the various coloured using clear painted plastic from the packaging. thoughts?
