This post is not exactly an update, but more like a show off of a beautiful piece I received today from Garrett (terminal fettler - thanks again!), more exactly an exact replica of the ESB Hero Perspex lens block and Polaroid Viewfinder (the RF casing is my cardboard replica):

I have no words to praise the craftsmanship involved in these pieces, especially that these are so tiny and I highly recommend them for anyone who strive for accuracy (the images don't do justice for them). It has the correct inner channels, the metal foil (or sheet) glued to the bottom of the block, which is made with 2 separate pieces glued together. We just need to find the correct GoW lamps and made them light up!
And for fun I did the ROTJ Perspex block 'replica' by inserting 3 piece of green elastic (didn't find wires with green isolation):

I'm so happy (and fortunate) to own these perfect replicas!
