so i tried to plaster mould and it did not work at all it insulates much more then the wood. so i need to find a material i can make moulds from which will conduct heat like the metal tube. in the meantime i did some more tube casts to try and reduce the wall thickness. i got it down to about 2mm on the last couple.

kodak model 60 8mm camera from '39 this has a removable lens so i can try on the digital.

the lens from the kodak cine camera. it has a lovely little arrow which points to light conditions on the camera case to allow the user to adjust for the environment. 

quick test. the field of view is about right however i have not got it to focus yet. did not spend much time on it so should get it going over the weekend.
