The goggles are made from small beads of greenstuff putty. A small metal tube is pushed in to give a raised section in the centre where the lens is.. The straps are green stuff. 

Try sculpting a few goggles on some scrap minis first to get a feel for it.

If you want goggles Victoria Lamb miniatures sell them specifically for conversions like this.

Very dangerous site to browse... Much potential there... ;)

Hah, that seems like serious overkill.

Re: Warboys!! Warboys!! Warboys!! Update 02/10/15

Thank you all for the kind comments. Now its time for an update.

The Warboys have some new additions to their  Warband.

Rictus is the third son of the Warlord Immortan Joe. He usually leads the Warbands into the Wastelands.


Rictus is an old OOP Necromunda Goliath miniature by GW that I was given painted a while back. I touched the paint up and he is ready for the table.


Furiosa came to the Citadel as a prisoner who worked her freedom and proved herself as competent warrior. Furiosa worked her way up the ranks in Immortan Joe's army and is allowed to run a war band and war rig across the wastelands. Furiosa is a Ms Lovely Day by Crooked Dice. 


Scab is the newest member of the Warboys. He has been trusted with a machine pistol from the bullet farm. They better hope that Scab's finger doesn't slip. Scab is an old OOP Necromunda Goliath juve miniature by GW (as if you needed telling who made it) that I was given painted a while back. I touched the paint up to make him look like a Warboy.

Just for a bit of fun...a War 'Tom' Boy!


The War 'Tom' Boy is a girl who has joined the Warboys. She has proven herself to be as tough as the boys. 'Tom' is an old OOP Necromunda Esher juve miniature by GW that I had laying about.


A group shot of the new additions to the warband.

I like the idea of a female War Boy.  I've been researching Mad Max costuming all weekend, and discovered that there were actually a few women scattered throughout both Lord Humongous' and Aunty Entity's warbands.  It wouldn't entirely shocking if there was a War Girl or two, and it's very likely there were some women in the People Eater and Bullet Farmer's warbands.

Ack!  I've finally seen the Mad Max movie, so I've been looking through the inspired threads.

Wonderful stuff here.  Love those warboys!
