N.,

first off, let me say that i like it! it looks tough.

but now as an artist, designer, and builder, let me be more critical in order to be more helpful; i'm not sure why you called them "MONOgoggle" as MONO means "one", but these have two eyes. also, your two images hotlink to show the same enlarged photo. i don't blame you too much, though, as HTML can be a pain and it can be easy to confuse which images you have already uploaded. i'm torn on the use of the chain. on one hand, it looks beefy and tough but on the other hand, it gives the whole thing an imbalanced "front-heavy" look. Also, i'm not too crazy about the two different shades of metal - the main body of the goggles with the lighter, aluminium piece coming out of the side. i Do like the asymmetry with the piece coming out of the side, though. -just my opinion. overall, i'd say great job!

Thank you T. 

But it haven´t made me. Im just the one who shares here.

Anyway the person who is making this (cause he call it a WIP) will be glad to recive your feedback.

I chated in a video conference with him yesterday (cause he is in Guadalajara and myself is near from Mexico City) and he personally ask me opinions from the community of dieselpunks. So here we´re!!!

I think already change the link, hope it´s work.

Im with you about the aluminium piece comment.

Thanks for comment.
