I just finished this and thought I'd share. I built it over about 3 weeks. Much of the design was based loosely on a prototype from over a year ago.
It uses a vibrating ground glass (which I got to be very quiet), first surface mirrors to invert the image (much cheaper than prisms), and a 28mm Canon fd lens as a relay lens.
Sample/Test footage:

(Note that the sharpest footage is near the end when the sun was out and I was able to stop down the relay lens a bit more. Also, the very last shot I show the ground glass off and on for comparison.)
