I wasn't going to say anything but I thought it was funny, too! :lol BTW, I always thought it was cool how Lee found the Lee part. :rolleyes Too immature?
You're proposed Flak38 part looks close but remember that there are what appears to be weld lines on the opposite end. Also, I'm a firm believer that ILM didn't go out of their way too often to modify small parts like this. But I could be wrong.
Oh, no, I was asking if my "Lee finding the Lee part" joke was too immature.
QuincyHappy to see others getting their babies going.
LOVE the parts layout pic.
Pardon my memory, but did I help with your vac pulls or did you do those yourself? I feel like I sent you a set, but I didn't do "ears" by themselves.
Sad to hear the head is short...the shaping looks pretty damned good.
Joe, see the thread about the North Texas Prop Party in the main forum. It is in the Fort Worth area at Philip Wise's (aka Rebelscum) work shop. Bring stuff to display and/or just geek out. It would be cool to have another Studio Scaler, there are only a couple of us.
Here is my top plate made out of .08. I am pretty sure I cut the Su-100 grill correctly according to reference and it fits nicely to the Matilda part. Notice that the bottom of the Su-100 part should sit flat on top of the vac'ed formed head, but mine goes below it. I have test fit it onto a flat .1 sheet and it looks right. I am going to try out a .1 plate on my next head. I would love to hear any other opinions on this.
