Thought I would post my progress, I am about ready to paint. I tried like heck to make it as close as I could but in the end some of the left side did not line up like I had planned. I designed the 3 bases and printed them.

No brown bess to be had...... Looks like i will have to go olive drab.

Is the grill piece a real world part from a model kit?

Great job on the sight unit! I love things build from the original parts. :)

As for the grill:
The original was problably from a Ferguson 37800C or 37801C 16" Portable Color TV.
The TV's control panel was used for the Sulaco Airlock release and cover spacing is a perfect match for the helmet sight.

Cheers
Stefan

I actually designed and printed it. I studied and studied every pic I have (which is almost all of them form the threads on here:) and did comparison measurements and made it. Since then I got a resin printer so if I could I would redo it, no lines....

I searched and searched for that tv but something like that.... no such luck in finding one.

Optics package done! Some painting to tidy up, and also see if I can get a replacement part for the raptor sight as I cant find it anywhere in my piles of stuff.
