IG88 head - help sought re dimensions to create pep file

[Blaxmyth]

As if I don't have enough half-completed projects, I now want to build an IG88 head as a static display piece - along the lines of the ones on the ground at the Lars homestead.

I can sculpt it in Blender and turn it into a pep file - which I'll release for free as usual.

Skaught has kindly posted this picture which has overall dimensions as (I think) 22.5" high by 8" diameter. Is there anyone who can either point me to a blueprint or schematic? Failing that, is there anyone who could help with filling in some of the measurements between some of the points on the picture?

All I am after is some heights and widths so that I can start building the mesh.

Thanks for looking. Cheers, Phil

I thought there was a blueprint in the IG88 builders club but I can't find it. There are a few reference pictures there with measurements, this is what I found:
Diameter of hole M = 56 mm
Diameter of hole N = 14 mm
Width of weld EF = 12 mm
Width of weld CB = 14 mm
Distance between E and C = 70 mm
Width of weld I = 6 mm
Width of weld H = 12 mm
Diameter of holes at HG = 8 mm
Diameter at H = 93 mm
Diameter at B = 90 mm
Distance IJ = 72 mm
The cuts around circumference J are 18 mm long
The flange welded above and to the left of N is around 50 mm OD 30 mm ID
(This is where things get really fuzzy)
Distance FG is around 45 mm
Distance JK is around 80-84 mm
AB is around 110 mm
FG is around 40 mm
G to top of weld I is around 75 mm
Hopefully someone else can fill in the gaps and provide more accurate dimensions.

Wow! This is brilliant! Much better than I had hoped for, so thanks very much indeed!

Now to fire up Blender!

Just wondering if anyone here has a reasonably detailed picture from side on? Preferably an actual schematic that I can use to base the blend file on? The measurements from Conqueror_Worm can be used for accurate sizing, but I need to get the proportions as accurate as possible.

Thanks in advance!

I know this is an old post, but thanks for these dimensions. I just finished 3d printing a Derwent flame tube for an IG-88
head and was wondering how close the sizing was. Pretty dammed close. Now If I can figure out all the greeblies.
