Pyrates and the March to EIB & Centurion

You were VERY wise to glue the lenses in before mounting them, Aaron, and here is why:

I hollowed out the entire center of the scope on my first DD resin build, and then glued the lenses in.  Big mistake.  Since it was an airtight seal, the fumes from the superglue had no place to ventilate and permanently fogged up both lenses.  I may be dating myself here, but those who saw "Beverly Hills Cop" may remember detective Foley using CA glue fumes to collect fingerprints from a fishtank.  Same principal.

Thanks Joseph!

 

And I still love that movie (Pyrates busting moves to the "Neutron Dance")

Will you be adding eyeglass screws to the side as well?

Yes my brother, I'm trying to find a better detailed picture to see the style of screw - you said eyeglass screws (so "Phillips" style head?)

 

All I've been able to find for reference are these in our weapons locker forum...

I'm so happy doin' the Centurion dance..  :dancing-trooper: . OH YEAH!  I would be interested in those screws as well.  I think Marc is correct that if anyone has them available, it's Tino.

Maybe 2-3mm head?

Beautiful - I will see what I have at home (all of the screws I have been using are from old survey equipment sight glasses that just happen to be the same size as what I've needed)

If not, let me know and I'll see what I've got left

Cheers brother!

 

Here's the dismantled survey equipment I found - I was originally planning on using the parts for my EH Blaster thread but found a new approach that I plan to use.

I will be working on that thread after this one to kill the time for my Premier FN (Heavy Gunner) kit to arrive from Anovos.

Some days I honestly question if I have horse shoes in my thermal detonator...

 

Here's some of the survey equipment I pulled from a construction bin:

First they are the proper brass, next they are exactly 2mm
