OK all. I'm going to try and finish up with this post. Ther aren't as many pictures foe this part because I was getting excited about finishing and simply forgot to take them.
After getting the electronics worked out I needed to add a hole for the top light and the switch. For the switch I drilled a "pilot hole" in the center of the top dome and then used a square needle file to make it just big enough for the slide of the switch to fit through and slide back and fourth. I also added a hole in the center of the slide for a set screw with a head just slightly wider than the slide itself. This will come into play when attaching the final "switch cover".
I didn't like the how the lens had grooves so I filed them down smooth first then I drilled a hole, about where I thought it should be, the exact size of the lens, that way the lens could set flush. To hold it in I added a piece of styrene to the inside with super glue so I had something to mount it to.
Before putting it all together I removed my new resin "switch cover" and switch top from the molds and began working with them. First I sat the main, large piece on top covering the hole on the front. Then from the inside, while holding the part in place, I traced the switch opening onto the bottom of it. After that I moved the part back to where it had just uncovered the hole and did the same thing. That let me see where the hole needed to be cut out of the bottom to allow for the full movement of the "switch cover". After removing the traced area, again just wide enough for the switch itself to fit through, I test fit the actual switch. It bacame apparent that i needed to trim a bit off of the switch slide because it was too tall and wouldn't let the set screw hold the cover down so I took just a little off the top. Perfect. I also had to trim just a hair off of each side of the inside groove of the cover to allow for the width of the set screw.
For the top light I just used the supplied nut. To attach the switch to the inside, though, I used super glue, rather than making two more small holes for the screws that it came with. I did one last test fit of the resin cover before painting it.
If you look closely you can see how the switch and set screw set down inside the cover far enough that I can get the top on, and you can see the top in the background.
Adding paint to the switch cover, reattaching it, adding the top, and with a little bit of black and tan paint to weather... Done.

Just for kicks... I mentioned earlier that I had made one before. I used a hollow plastic baseall for it. Here is a comparison shot of V1 vs. V2. I bet you can't guess which is which.
Sorry if this is confusing to you. It makes sense to me. Why wouldn't it?
If you have any questions, just ask. I'll answer to the best of my ability. If you build one let us see.
Thanks for all the positive feedback and for letting me waste some of your valuable time.
