Thanks and thanks again John.
Those are the perfect textures. Very much appreciated.
Thank also, novena. I can't wait to see how it renders, as well.

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.
-
Logo complete.
-
Logo added to camera.
This just leaves the numbers on the focus wheel.
-
Minor adjustment to logo. It was too big.
-
Very nice!

Thanks Carsten!
I've decided against the lettering on the lens. SU has given me serious grief regarding very tiny radii, especially on lettering.
I just need to add "Made in Germany" to the focus knob and it's done, then render!
-
Focus knob numbers complete. Adjusted the logo again. Added film counter number. Colored the film winder handle hub.
Still need to add lettering to lens, but I'm beginning to wonder if that will even show.
Still had some trouble with the numbers on the cone of the focus knob. Most worked fine using Box's technique, but 2 had geometry problems and had to be "fiddled" with to make work. Thanks again to Box.

Completed.
Moving on to rendering, where you will see the texturing that John was kind enough to send me.
-
Bryan K, really good job!!! it is looking fantastic, looking forward for some nice renders...

How long did it take?
Looks very complex.
5, maybe 10 seconds. The hard part was switching to metric.
I had to take a break.
Seriously, I am starting a model of a real Rollieflex Automat. I hope to make it as detailed as the Nagra tape deck and the radio (see main gallery) that were posted here in the past.
(the Nagra can be found with a board search or google search)
What you see right now are the accurate overall dimensions. Took me 3 days to find those using Google as well as the correct model reference pictures. Rollie made a lot of cameras and of those, it seems dozens of different models of the Rollieflex Automat.
I'm going to model the Automat from the 1940s.
-
Lens locking ring complete. Arrow added over self-timer release button.
I do believe I have only one more thing left! (oh wait, 2. Still 2 more things)
