Rocket_Hurricane @NormL Received my mini T3 today in Matte Bronze Steel. The detail you capture in your models is really amazing, especially in steel! It's got a nice heavy feel to it. I'd love to see a model of an old style T2 to go with this. The stubby scope on the T2 would probably make for a better key fob also, less likely to snag on something. Keep up the amazing work Norm.

Rocket_Hurricane Hi Norm. Could you put a model up like this without the key ring loop? I'd like a metal T3 like this just to sit on my desk. Thanks

Rocket_Hurricane My completed Wild Tripod for the T3 Theodolite. I added a plumb bob hanger with bent wire and a small chain hook to hang my 16 oz brass CST plumb bob from (also 1/4 scale of course).

Rocket_Hurricane Here is my completed 1/4 Scale T-3 and Tripod next to it's full scale big brother. I also turned a brass plumb bob (a 1/4 scale 16 oz CST). More pictures to follow

Rocket_Hurricane @drummond93 Nice work. I've just started painting 1/4 scale T3 and tripod.I hope mine turn out as nice as yours. Did you use a brush to paint the green?
