I have a limited run started. I don't think I'm allowed to post a link so just search for "Poe Dameron Macrobinocular"
Resistance Crait Macrobinoculars / Neuro-Saav ND.621 Rangefinder (TLJ VD)
it's the 1 inch
That's where I got mine... same link as posted earlier in the thread. I also put a link to it in the greeblie kit run.
FYI Kits are shipping out today!
Thanks guys

I plan to start my build later this week and was wondering where everyone placed the sling mounts? I grabbed the adjustable square and I am looking at between 0.75 - 1.25 in from the end, centered on each side. At 0.75in, it is just past the curve of the body. I plan to grab a hole punch and punch out a circle of painters' tape for placement and and see how the sling mounts look in that range.
Thanks in advance!

I think it's personal preference at this point. The visual dictionary appears to have the leather removed. But there's also evidence that the prop on screen was cast, so there probably wasn't leather on it at all. I think it looks really cool with it on so I left it for the one I made.
As far as disassembling the camera, I took a few photos when I did mine that I could use to make a guide but I think Halliwax might even have a video tutorial in the works. Not sure yet.

The trapezoid will pop off. Re read the thread back several pages.
For the dial, that disc is glued on and covers a screw. use an exacto blade to pop it off.
You need to pull the entire lens assembly off. there are three screws that hold it on. two are under the lens turret and the third is under the small dial. Unscrew the "normal" lens to access the other two screws.
When you remove it be careful not to lose this ball bearing as this is what allows the turret to turn and click into position.
Then behind the lens turret is a nut held by a bent spring washer. keep note of how this is assembled so it goes back the same way. you have to get the back plate off so you can paint the lenses black
Set this piece aside. It stays silver
remove the lens filter by pulling out the brass horseshoe shapes cotter pin
Don't lose this ball bearing
Mask off this part and paint it black
Paint the lens turret and housings black
Paint this part black
Then reassemble.

But why i have to pull the entire lens assembly of?
For the trapezoid greeble?
Or the disc? But can’t i just break of the disc? It will be replaced anyways?
To paint it. You asked. I'm just telling you what I did. Yeah you can just break it if you want. it's your camera.
