I don't know about that Bryan, every time I look at it now I'll be worried it will fall off the tripod!

No problem. I just won't model a tripod.

[Bryan K]

Almost there. Probably 8 more hours of work left to do.

The what what?

Sick this weekend. Still feeling low today. No updates until maybe tomorrow.

[Bryan K]

Couldn't let it go.

Rebuilt the nameplate face for the 5th time. I think I've got it this time.

Extended the tripod flange handle. (you can't see it in this pic) Added the exposure chart. Nameplate join to pop-up viewfinder was wrong.

At this point it looks like only 2 3 more things to be done: numbers on focus knob and finger flanges on lens locking rings and logo. (see, I knew I could have this done this weekend, dang it, but I'll bet I find more details are wrong)

[Bryan K]

Reworked top of view finder.

Still only 2 more things to do. Just 2 more things.

What a great machine you've got there !

Btw, it is not that tedious to make those numbers if you want to do it like this :

You are over thinking it.
You only need to position one number accurately, easily done using the glue to feature of the components, then array the numbers and replace the components as necessary. You can then explode and intersect or solid tools or component intersect etc to get the stamp effect.
It's only a few minutes work.

Here is a quick rough unfinished version of what I mean.

Thomthom's 3 Text edit will do it for you. But it's as quick using normal components in this case.

Thanks cuttingedge.

Sorry for the slow updates this week, all. Been feeling low all week. It's a bit frustrating being this close to finished and not feeling well enough to complete it, especially with the recent, and much appreciated, help from everyone.

Maybe done this weekend.

Update:

Recreating logo.

---

[Bryan K]

Logo complete.

[Bryan K]

Logo added to camera.

This just leaves the numbers on the focus wheel.

---

[Bryan K]

Minor adjustment to logo. It was too big.
