if you're wanting an easy way to make some night vision goggles, here's what i do;
a) take a flamer from the catachan sprue and cut off the trigger bit
b) the little nobby things right above the trigger/grip is what you want - carefully using a modeling saw, remove that area to get a rectangular bit that's ironically a perfect fit across a guardsman's face!
c) file down the 'goggles' so that all the sides are good and flat
d) to get the goggles to sit properly, use the round file and just file out the middle area so that the goggles will sit snug across the guardsman's face, just above the bridge of the nose!

in all it usually takes me about 10-15 minutes to hack-out and file down a single pair... or else you could bit order the new necro vansar head sprues through your gw store's mail service. there's 2 or 3 of those heads with goggles on 'em!

cheers!
