That looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to your studies with the modified peephole. Which option will be the winner?

Peephole fits better, is better construction, and easier to integrate into the rest of HAL. But after comparing both again after painting both black and modifying the lenses of the peephole... the cell phone camera lens is still the winner between the two.I'm looking forward to your studies with the modified peephole.

Well, that`s it then; we have a winner?Peephole fits better, is better construction, and easier to integrate into the rest of HAL. But after comparing both again after painting both black and modifying the lenses of the peephole... the cell phone camera lens is still the winner between the two.
Well. If I had access to all that I’d probably go that route too.The glass "eBay" lens is pretty good, but doesn't convey the depth of a real camera lens. I roughly emulated the design of the real lens and bought a bunch of lens elements from various Chinese lens manufacturers, and I think it helps a lot in simulating the complex and multi-reflective look of the real thing.
The original lens contained colored filters in it. They rotated the dial to the red filter (R60 filter) and shined the light bulb through it.It would be interesting to know how those guys did the effect of the reddish/yellow kind of light seen in the lens
From that exploded view diagram it looks like my frame could accommodate it. How “tall” are parts E & G?It would, however, stick way out the back of the HAL frame!

So that seems like it would fit in mine. Just barely. But it all depends on the total distance from the red line here, down.E is 21.6mm and G is 11.7mm in the current design.
Lots. Next Friday is delivery day. Mad dash to finish and all my spare time is going towards it.Any movement on that wonderful build ?
The molded lenses (rejects) package I received from Flimzy:
(Curiously the glass Master Replicas' lens does NOT fit and the clear plastic lens is smaller in diameter!)
If you look at the Tested video with Peter Jackson, it does indeed stick way out the back. That's the problem we'll always have; in order to get that 'far away' look of the red light, it needs the reverse lensing effect of the entire array of elements in the original lens (essentially the reverse of what the fisheye is intended to do). In the same way we can't look through a the back of a single piece of glass and expect to see a fisheye effect. It's just a physics issue that won't be able to be solved if the unit is meant to hang flush on a wall.It would, however, stick way out the back of the HAL frame!
