    Roger, that looks like a cool project. What kind (make, model) of camera is it? I remember that paint finish on many old movie cameras and projectors. Durable stuff.

    It is a 16mm Bell and Howell Filmo (D70) which is the little brother to the 35mm Bell and Howell Eyemo. They were standard issue for Army motion picture photographers in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I used this kind of camera to film Special Forces operations in Vietnam and clips from my footage were used in episodes of the History Channel's Suicide Missions Series (MACV/SOG Vietnam and Mike Force)and Discovery Channel Wing's program Dustoff: Helicopter Ambulance Operations over Vietnam. The empty camera weighs seven pounds which with 10 100ft reels of film would be roughly equal to an M16 rifle with a loaded 30 round mag (8.7 pounds).

    If push came to shove, it could also be used for close quarters combat.

      Does anyone remember the Brownie Box Camera? I still remember my dad looking into the viewfinder and waving his hand to get us to bunch up closer. I still have the camera.

        Roger, I remember seeing the Filmo in the display case of old cameras at the last camera store in which I worked.

        Bob, I still have one of each of the two with the red arrows. The upper one belonged to my grandmother and the lower one to my mother.

        They are still functional but I don't think the film is available anymore. I used to have quite a collection of old cameras, many of which I used from time to time. They've nearly all been given away except those two.

          I have the upper one, and I keep it in memory of my happy childhood and my long departed parents. Generally, and unlike today, the camera was only used to record holiday moments (at the zoo, on the boating lake etc) as buying and developing film was considered a bit of a luxury in the 50s. There are few if any photos of birthdays, Christmas etc.

            When I was working in the camera stores it wasn't unusual to see the pictures from the little old ladies in which there would be two consecutive Christmases on the same roll.

              I have some camera's that would have stories to tell if they could only talk.

                I'll bet.

                I remember selling cameras that did talk. 😆

                  Viewfinder turret

                  Viewfinder turret for the motion picture camera. Got distracted with this as an art piece.

                        Still a work in progress, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I started to assemble the parts and the main lens turret did not mesh with the viewfinder turret. Just like the real world, I had left out a part in the assembly. I think for the final render, I will dump it in a muddy canal with a little blood in the water and some bamboo for background.

                          Looks as it did when it came out of the box. Nice work.

                            Work in progress

                            Have some work to do on the far side before I can render. Fymoro, Watkins, the Doh! tread, rereading the Twilight manual, and watching everyone else's work has been a tremendous help. I want to drop the final model in a jungle stream, but building that is a daunting concept.

                              The right side of the camera

                              This is the right side of the camera. The only major structure left is a tripod attachment structure that forms part of the bottom and this side. Also, there is leather handstrap for holding the camera. Soon, I can begin to struggle with the materials and the render. Probably time to go back and read the Duh!-Doh! thread.
