This is looking great! One thing though, is it just me or do the triangles on the control box look a little big compared to the original?

About the arrows: that’s been a difficult thing to nail.
A lot of it might just be light and reflectivity... blurriness... especially compared to an ultra crisp render with full points and sharp edges.

especially knowing that the tips of the arrows are dulled and in one case broken off now

We are working out the feasibility but it is looking promising so far.

Once we have a confirmed action plan we'll be informing the community.

I'm going to be making some of the additional box adjustments next week and I think we'll be pretty much nearly buttoned up on the model by that point.

Finally made it in to photoshop and confirmed the arrow sizing

Making 2D blueprints and paper-tests for Drizzt1234 to reference during control box refinement.

Like drizzt1234 said. Good productive discussions are happening. I think all of us have been traveling or occupied with work but we are still moving forward steadily.

I'm currently trying to get the neck color right on my replica, but I'm struggling because it looks different from photo to photo. Is it copper or gold? Or somewhere between the two? I'd appreciate any advice on getting it right.

Totally dark yellow brass. Ace metallic has a very close color, most others are too silvery or too red. It really bothers me that I can't find the original color!

The original was painted of course: and different lighting shows different tones... I’ve been using a mixture of Aztec gold and Balthazar gold metallic paint... although

I really like that color: it seems really close
