[QUOTE="eagle1, post: 5245817, member: 4283"] Hey thanks so much. I guess for a simple explanation of replicating this miniature, is that it's reverse engineering all the way...especially with the pits!. Plating needs to be worked out before pit placement & the pit detail assembly plate has to be built before that!. Heights are critical for pit placement too...its all about trial and error & much fiddling around to get everything to gel. I haven't ever found out what the original miniatures docking rings were made from. I think its turned wood...i think i possibly saw a pic or two of the inside years ago, but the mind plays tricks haha. It could possibly be a container of some sort, that inside lip is a good tell, but they could have easily added that on the lathe too!. I have that lip on my rings by the way haha. Stu [/QUOTE]
