Re: wip--lukes macrobinocular kit
i need to make the piece for the front and then the side box is finished.
next is the transition side box
the printed media should be here next week.
updates on first page for remaining parts to be made. the only thing left is the belt clip, just waiting on a bid for water jetting them.

Re: wip--lukes macrobinocular kit
got the printed media today, it looks fantastic !!!!
i tried to capture how it reflects. it looks just like the original stuff
the edges will ne a little sanding to finish them off, im thinking of dipping the large plae in future to give it the gloss look like the original piece has.
now that i have everything, less the belt clip, i will finish the build and post pics, then the for sale thread in the j/y

Re: wip--lukes macrobinocular kit
well here is some updated pics of the build.
the lens' are assembled and painted as close to the color on screen as i can get.
i drilled a hole and put in a magnet on the eumig body, then glued another one on the lid. it closes very solid with the streangth of the magnets.
i need to finish the side boxes, make molds and cast resin parts so i can add them to the kit list and this build.
belt clips are comming in soon.
next i need to assemble the hood with all it's parts and then paint.
then i will finish off by adding the knobs.

Re: wip--lukes macrobinocular kit
New to the forums, and found it by researching the Macros so I could make one for myself; a childhood dream prop. Disheartened to hear about the cost of Kalimars and the Kaligar lenses. (What have I got myself into?!) These would be great as I have the Eumig, the B&H, and most of the other required parts.
How would I sign up for some of your lenses? I can say I've been interested in your castings since 1977.
EDIT: I want "...the head, the tail, the whoooooooole damned thing!". How to buy, trooper?! How and when, sir. Glorious work! I must be patient.

Re: wip--lukes macrobinocular kit
just a heads up for all those who have shown an interest in getting a kit.
all the molds and parts are done. I have two kits to complete for the guys who have been a huge help in this project.
I am finishing up the first build to show a complete kit. then I will put up a for sale thread in the J/Y for the first five kits.
if you have questions or need parts to complete your build, just pm me, im glad to help.
