Well finally got off my ass and actually built something.
Wanted my headset to be more accurate.I have the correct Beyer Dynamic HM560 headset,the G1 Megatron arm,the Olympus T28 flash(and shoe attachment),Pentax 110 lens,and the blue disc(donated by Harry Harris)
Ripped my old headset apart ,re shaped the eye piece as best i could by building it up inside with resin and sanding(its a bit more accurate now and smaller ).
Drilled out the camera then used resin to fix the Pentax lens.
Filled and sanded the part of the megatron arm ,then bonded it to the shoe attachment with resin.
T28 flash housing screwed and bonded to camera,back of flash housing was hollow.Used a strip of ABS trimmed and shaped to fit.Cheek rest screwed and bonded to ABS strip.
HM560 screwed to camera body.
Eyepiece bonded to arm.Completed eye piece clips onto flash housing.Coiled cable bonded to bottom of eyepiece.
Oh and all parts were painted using Halfords camo paint (green ultra flat) before assembly.
The paint is much darker than it looks in the pics.
