Hopefully this may be of some help to Roy in his planned re-examination of his 3D renders and anyone else who may be interested:
Here is the hero bottom tube and upper grip scaled to exactly 93.80mm (the in-general, full-length of a tube extended from the bottom end to the edge of the clamp). In this photo you can just barely identify the "smaller" set of rivets originally found in the studio photo shoot of Mark. As you can see here, I have marked what seems to be the edges of the rivet head diameters. The red lines seem to indicate an approximate 4mm rivet head diameter while the green lines seem to suggest a 4.5-5mm diameter. If this hypothesis is true, that may account for the slight upward bend in the end of the grip foot as it rises slightly over top the larger 4.5-5mm rivet at the very end.
EDIT: I might add that the green lines may be off due to the blurriness of the photo in that spot, so both rivets might indeed be 4mm or they might vary in size. This is by no means a set-in-stone observation, just a suggestion of what might be present on the actual prop.

Good point. He was after all just the set decorator. Those rivets, if they were to hold the internal motor assembly for the blade, were probably added by the FX crew later during production.

Maybe they thought: "what's that crazy screw with a square hole doing there. Let's take it off and replace it with some rivets!"
you can match the focal length way more easily with 3D than in real life. Cameras in 3D softwares have focals as well.
IronDestinyProps, I’ve been doing the same scaling on all the photos and have also been getting 4.5-5mm for that pair of rivet heads. In your picture, those rivet heads are touching (shadow makes it look like a gap), so that makes your measurements the same.
I keep getting 5mm diameter on the newer pair of rivet heads.
It’s a freaking half a millimeter potential difference, so I’m back on board with Roy’s rivets, lol.
Also, when looking at the picture below, you need to follow the grip edge across so as to not confuse any shadows.

Hi, I've tried it again and I come to the same conclusion as before: two small rivets, two larger rivets (3mm as on the D-ring)
Here are my comparison results:

Holy crap, this is amazing. Thank you! You really have a talent for this

Have you considered producing a grip spacing guide based on the perspective-matched model? I'd buy one.
Maybe I can make a new blueprint based on the screen matched grip positioning later. I don't need money for that. I can design and offer a grip guide to download for 3D printing. It'll take some time, to match them with a whole bunch of pictures. I'm not sure if we can account for all the grip positions properly.
Love for a wannawanga grip guide!
Well done on the new models, roygilsing, and thank you! These are so helpful to see. I am inclined to agree with your discoveries here. And I second the idea of a WW grip guide.
