Jeepers....creepers...

So after realizing that the shape of the R6 head would constitute a different shaped Radar eye (One that would fit a cone, rather than a dome), and realizing that none were being cast, or crafted by anyone else, I set out to make my own.  I pulled up the R6 blueprints, along with a few reference photos (there aren't that many of R6!), and came up with what I consider to be the closes representation  of an R6 Radar Eye housing I could.

This will, of course need some filling and sanding, and I still need to make the side boxes.   But shes starting to take shape.  Here is a shot of the new one next to my R2 Radar Eye -

Soon Ill be getting out the filler and the sand paper and going to town on this bad boy.  It would be nice if I could get a good enough copy to cast in resin, but if not, the Styrene should be strong enough.  Its certainly stout. 

Another thought I had was that instead of the traditional radar eye lens, I would go for something keeping with the military inspiration, something inspired by the FLIR Camera's seen on Helos:

Wile cruising the Inter-tubez, I found a dummy security camera that is about the right size, and shape, and I think would look kinda nifty.  What do you guys think?
