We all know that the people usually build the "Bespin-Version", the "Hoth" seems to be very rare - maybe cause it´s mount is not as easy made as on the "Bespin". But ........ in the last time i had done some pieces over and over again, so i wanted to try something new - i measured some pics, made a sketch, grabbed some material ... and started. 
Some first cuts in metal later, the contour was milled:
After that i found three M3 bolts, just the right size:
Made the disc
With a threaded rod on the backside
(But of course it could have also been a flat disc that only covers a sunken head bolt in the scope mount)
And a disc as a spacer between gun and mount
The completed mount, with drilled holes, cutout and mounted scope
Then cutting the three M3 threads, and assembling the disc to the mount
the rear side
And with added spacer
And assembled on one of my test bed Denix (for drilling holes and testing stuff without any hesitations of damaging a rare MGC-Mauser)
(I used a older, already existing hole. On the final gun the mount will be placed some few milimeters higher.)
