Get him to do transition boxes, so that I can finish my build
Well, they're finished after a few adjustments, lens plate weathering or scratching. Here some close ups and overviews. I'd like to know what you guys think?

I need to drill & tap the gray lens adjuster ring on one of the Kaligars for the additional aluminum thumb adjuster so there's one on each lens. I think they came out as close to screen accurate as they could have! Any thoughts or suggestions?
I'd really like to thank you guys who helped me and gave advise along the way building my very first prop, especially Marv, Zombie Killer, Sym-Cha, Clutch, Cameron, Almar Bouwman, Marcus (Odiwan72), Killdozer, Lichtbringer, and for sure Jerry (Trooper) and Dave at Dark Energy. Only took me 2 years LOL!!!
Overall it looks great. :cool
But may it be possible you mounted the frontplate the wrong way, upside down?

Shouldn´t the plates cutout match to the recessed corners you see here on the right side?
Nice build!
Has the "Mystery Box" been I.D.'d yet???

they did use the russrep plate to make this one, even though they added to it, it is still recasting.If this is reversed engineered do you need permission, The Russrep plate doesn't have any internal threading so whilst being similar is not the same?
I'm definitely interested in a transition box when you post your list.
The build looks wicked must finish mine
good point, does it have to have any noted dimensions to be recast? in other words, say I sketched something on paper and showed a pic of it, some liked it and started selling copies of my original sketch, isn't that still stealing some one elses work?There were some plans somewhere on the site but if I recall it didn't have any dimensions to it - I could be wrong?
Can't say I'm happy to read this, been waiting for a nice transition box for a long time.
If the plans are free...... anyone can share them, please?

and yet again they used some one elses template for the transition box, I wonder how the make of the template would feel about him just taking his work and profiting from it??? this was a file offered for free for his/her own use.
