Thanx Pete! It's a dime (approx. 18mm across)
Re: kits? - the 1st few Pre-Order runs will most likely be offered - pre-assembled & finished painted.
Kits unfinished, that you can paint & assemble - we'll see...
Next-up: the Center section & then - the other shape of air tanks.
When this project is complete I'll introduce the craftsman who's been turning the lathe.

I know you're well past the point, but here's a perforated sheet source. I guessed on the hole diameter, but there's others there: http://www.mcmaster.com/#perforated-sheets/=7dz1rc

Thanx fellas & Welcome to the RPF!
The screens are Done. The reason I'm going with what I already have is -
if the holes are too numerous or small - replicating the holes (when casting) could become a problem...
Ideally, I'd like to get as many of these in as many hands as possible, but I'd like to keep the quality of the castings consistent.

Nice CG! I tried mapping & drilling by hand (at first) but found a manufactured paper product that featured
the hole size & spacing that I felt this project needed for ease of casting.
The older I get & the more affordable CG & rapid printing (growing) parts becomes, the more excited I get.
Again, very nice CG work & as F A S T as you drew it,
...paying an hourly rate for a CGI Craftsman isn't the budget Killer that it had been in the past!

The partz required to complete the Jedi A-99 Aqua Breather build are FIN!!!
At this time I wish to thank my Great & Good Friend:
Stephen 'Crash' McConnel for his Turn of the Lathe.
(at the close of these posts - I will share pics of some of Stephen's other Creations)
Next, I will complete & prep these partz for molds & casting.
Look for my Jedi A-99 Aqua Breather post & Pre-Order Discount Offer
in the RPF Junkyard in approx. 2 to 3 weeks. (maybe sooner)
And Thanx for your continued interest & support of my Projects.
