Indeed! The new case and CG look really nice, David. While you're tweaking parts, is there any chance you could have your crown maker simply adjust the bevel cut at the edges of the crown? The angle is correct, it's just too "deep", if the bevel cut removed less of the crown material overall, you would have the nearly perfect crown. Better than Palpatine's...

Oh, and the Pre-A straps and buckles look GREAT! Any info on what the lengths of these straps are going to be, David?

Looking good. However, the CG should not be flat on the top. it somewhat follows the curvature of the top line of the case. What do guys think?

I think we're never gonna get CGs that look like that. That's what I think. :wink:

Mayny people have tried and they've all found it too difficult to get manufactured.

some pics show that the CG looks very flat to me.

Anyway ,i have made 2 verions of these Cg.

this is the curved CG pic.

Hope you can see the differnce.

Wow!

The 6 and 9 could be a little "flatter" where the loop closes, but overall that is one GREAT looking rep.

Well done, David!

Let's see some pics of the 202! :twisted:

Wonderful work.

The curved CG looks good...The 6 & 9 maybe a bit off but overall, a great rep....

Can't wait to see this comes out for sale....
