It's a very expensive exercise Daniel. If you place two 102mm objectives together in their tubes the centres would probably be around 120mm apart (allowing for the thickness of the cells). Your eyes are usually around 65-75mm apart (your inter-pupillary distance or IPD). Therefore you'd need to bend the light paths in after they exit the rear of the scopes and then angle them upward via two diagonals so that the images don't rotate in relation to one another. This is where it gets expensive, because you need what are called "amici" prisms to do this. There is a guy in Japan who makes them for this purpose and they cost around US$1,200.
