If you square up with Marcus and offer a kit I would take one too. Shipping for his kit to the U.S. would probably cost more than the kit itself.

also, the space between the ribs is glossy rather than textured like the rest of the camera

your photo has been contrasted and blurred so it's hard to see. In my original, even after despeckling to calm the halftone dot. i still see the highlight perfectly and also see the same top fade from dark to light in between that's present on top. agree to disagree i guess.
Yeah the brightness has been increased to see the details better but it's also a bit higher resolution than the one you're referencing. But yeah there's no point if this is the only photo there is. I'm also trying to think about what's more likely when it comes to making the prop. Did they just have some ribbed rubber and glued a section on each side, or did they individually place separate rods and cut holes to stick the ends in? There just happens to be a tripod mount / handle screw hole exactly where the grips are, which to me indicates they were trying to cover it up by adding the grips, so it wouldn't make sense to add separate rods since it wouldn't cover up the hole.

Printing a rough draft of the viewer. There's not much to go on reference wise for the details so it's a lot of guesswork.

to your point... i think they molded it so anything is possible. i would agree drilling holes and inserting rods is a tedious task, but as I look at the photo we are referencing and I see rods and when I look at the screen grabs from the movie and see ribbed rubber. Maybe Both?
OK so the viewer printed out really nicely and all in all is a good size and fit. I'm going to make a couple of tweaks and print another one before showing how it turned out but it looks good.
updated viewer hood. I (hopefully) improved the fitted curve, I updated the greeblies on top, fixed the flare, and lips. I thought about putting some kind of techy looking details inside so it wasn't just an open hole to the back of the camera, but if people end up adding electronics or something I didn't want to interfere.
Done!

Thanks!
I'm also seeing something on the viewer hood itself that makes me think it's not just an open box. Oh and there's another small greeblie on the bottom, just inside the corner of the metal framing

Matching up angles. If you see anything that’s off let me know so I can tweak my files.
