Blue Snaggletooth R1 Hengstler counter replica

[TK-50101 Blue Snaggletooth[TK]]

Wanted to show you my interpretation of the original R1 rubber cast Hengstler counter.

 

I build this replica with:

- original Hengstler 400 plastic counter

- original Hengstler 400 plastic socket

- replica resin eagle sidewall

- kneadatite green stuff

- plasti dip paint

filled the Hengstler engraving from the top part with green stuff:

 

 

 

 

drilled the screw holes into the top part and installed real screw heads, smoothen the edges:

Awesome job, Good attention to detail but if you look closely at those pictures you posted from my reference thread you’ll see the Rogue One Counter actually has the small (mini) eagle logo, it’s close but that one you’ve used is the medium size eagle logo.

 If you could correct this then it would be an absolutely perfect replica!

 Hard to see but maybe you are right with the smaller eagle on the R1 counter.
