Huzzah! Forward movement! I appreciate you taking on the project. Thanks for the update.
Jason, what are the approximate dimensions of the stand? I’m build a box for the T-16 and want to factor in it’s radius and height from the bottom of the model.

And bought.
Couple quick photos of Jason's stand. Received mine in good shape. It was packed nicely and arrived in about 5 days. The machinist did a great job. Parts fit smooth and align squarely. Fyi as of this posting, his store showed low in stock.

I see these 2 pieces on some builds. I call them antennas. Can anyone tell me the story of these two pieces. Were they on the original and then knocked off? Can any one tell me what kits they come from? These are the last 2 pieces of the puzzle for my build. I have all the other kits. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wonderful build. Loved all the pics. Hope mine turns out as well as yours. Keep up the good work!

I’m looking for the extra brass pieces on Amazon. Not much luck. I found the 4” piece I think. The dimensions are vague. Does anyone have good advice about where to find the pieces? Are they all lamp parts?
Also, any brass coupling parts have a hexagon shape on the outside cylinder.
Update: went to lamp supply website and got it all. I think. We’ll see.

I found one on Etsy just for the T-16. I believe there are a few left.
You can chop-saw your brass bits down just a wee bit further, and "disappear" the surplus threading on the tripod stand elements, if you so desire...
Thanks for making these, Jason -- VERY nice, and very old school, and very inspiring.

Nice job! The tone of grey you used looks great. What did you use for paint?
Archive X paints light reefer grey and a little dark reefer grey.

Nice work! What rim is inside the engine nozzle? Do you know what kit rims & scales the model shop commonly used on ship engines?
