Brilliant. Thank you. Thats an easy fix. I had no idea what that was. Now you tell me what and where in your post. Thanks!A few years back i became obsessed with a greeblie used here, and I still haven't found what is the real part. However in the Brandon Alinger book there is a great reference that i used for the model I made.
This is from the book

If i can make a suggestion, you can swap the plastic thing you have under the greeblie ( blue arrow) for the terminal connector that is commonly used with that greeblie on the belts of navy troopers.

You can download it and print it in resin so it looks a bit more accurate. Link: Imperial Compad Keypad by gucabe on Shapeways

Sorry for intruding but Its such an amazing work that i couldn't resist.
O and K!!!! Wow.... shivers....uuuuuuhhhh....wow, more shivers. Wait am showing the wife....I think she wonders why "I" do not have a snowspeeder...Smoooooth.
This always makes me think they had no clue just how close these movies were going to be inspected by fans, decades later.There may be 3 variations of the greeblie box layout on the gunners side of the speeder - or the set builders was winding up a noob aprentice builder to remake the same thing.... and get some tartan paint while you're there type of thing?

It explains why so many replicas are sturdier than the originals.Unless they had a crystal ball
For sure. Lack of the buttons around the red lights and no Uher slider knobs on that bottom edge. I like to think that inside they were bastardized just to get them airworthy. Thats how i am justifying my inaccurate detailing.There may be 3 variations of the greeblie box layout on the gunners side of the speeder - or the set builders was winding up a noob aprentice builder to remake the same thing.... and get some tartan paint while you're there type of thing?
Correct, Roger Christian who built the first Light sabers and blasters for ANH had no idea what calculator parts he used until a fan told him several year ago.

did we already talk about the cooling cloth wraps on those bottles?I cut up a cheap plastic tray to make the drink bottle holders. A strip of aluminium holds them straight and gives me a screw point to connect them to the side of the speeder.
I have also edged them with some rubber strip. I also think i need to wrap them in some sort of material, a bit woolly by the looks of it.
The lids are a bit different to the originals but dont have time to fix that right now. Looks like i have to cut the sting off too..
