Gotta say, the level of detail and effort you're into here is pretty astonishing! Hats off!All the best pictures I have for details are much later than the era I am doing so I have to use era correct ones to see what marks are present and reverse engineer them from the best ones.
I also need to set up the projector again to mark out exact sizes and position of the tape damage.

Thanks that is very kind. It sort of turned in to a challenge.Gotta say, your work is scary good. Most builders (or buyers) would be ecstatic if you'd stopped working several iterations ago. Your relicking (relicing? relic'ing? any way you write that, it looks wrong) is as close to looking like time did the deed as anything I've ever seen. I think you're approaching the point where maybe a dozen people in the world would know it's not the real thing.
Sort of?!?!!!Thanks that is very kind. It sort of turned in to a challenge..
