Version B of my attempt at something that vaguely resembles an Eastman Kodak circa 18-- something something.

Version A was crap and discarded. Version B is slightly asymmetrical because I was talking to somebody while cutting the 'lens' hole and the thingy slipped, but it's only really noticeable on the big screen if you're looking for it.

Bonus shots of my new-ish office included.

The touch-up paint was still drying in those shots, the old mars stick out a lot less on the finished version. Still, if I hadn't been under a time crunch I would've redone it to get those mars out altogether.

Neat. I like model junk up there to.

Yeah, that's the big attention-getter in my office. Would you believe I got it for twenty bucks or so? I was at a junk shop getting my other kit for the office and saw it in the corner. Asked them how much it cost because it didn't have a tag. Turned out some guy put a deposit on it and then never came back for it, so they'd been turning prospective buyers away. But they hadn't been able to reach him for over six weeks, so they decided if he ever did come back they'd just refund the deposit and sold it to me.

Unfortunately the cramped confines of my new office make it so that I have to stick it up on that corner. In my original office it had a nice front and center display point.
