Hi guys, I'm sorry it's been so long, but I was taking care of my sick father (for about 3 years in and out of hospitals and physical rehab centers), and then he passed away, and I was working through his estate and the sale of my childhood home - Very heavy stuff if you haven't gone through it.
With that said, I had still been collecting pieces for the build, and now have almost everything needed to complete it.
I don't think I showed them previously in the thread, but here are the smaller harvested knobs needed for atop the transition box, and for the side of the macros:

Also, I was able to score not one, but TWO authentic Kalimar Kaligar 1:28 f=80mm lenses:

I also had a day this past Fall where the weather was nice, so I decided to work on my build on the patio table.
I mounted the knobs to the transition box, and the box to the Eumig.
I also carefully drilled out the holes for mounting the larger side knobs. This is what it looked like when I finished for the day:

I mounted the lens rings in the lens mounting plate, screwed in the lenses, and placed them in position, taking a few pics to see what it would look like:

I am still wrestling with the best way to attach the lens mounting plate to the Eumig.
Can others please post in with their methods? Pictures would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

I have also been thinking about the mysterious, unknown, unidentified "dark side of the moon" black greeblie.
Since we don't know what it was, or exactly what it is supposed to look like, I think I have decided to fashion something myself - creating a base, and adding these circled black plastic parts from the macros I made as a kid - to honor the creativity of my childhood, and tie me to the excited energy of that time:
