Well or just any TM ANH example...

Still not able to follow you...are you talking about a finished TM ANH cast?

Yes everyone is correct - the TD tubes were cut and although they were never made good the intention was there. The proof is on the end of the tube which has not as yet been shown.

Brian

Front end or back end? :wink:

I know but ask Thomas :wink:

BTW, here's how the tusk tips of the original TM ANH faceplate looked after the paint was stripped (before restoration)

Thomas, couldn't you just remove the paint on one half of your TD faceplate??? :wink:

Yes Brian means the cut face of the tube ends on the TD. Something I haven't shown in detail as I'm still trying to figure it out myself because I have mixed sources of information that don't agree. Brian has been kind enough given that I have sent him very good photos of the TD ANH to let me discuss it in my own time...thanks Brian.

Actually Tom it could be finished or unfinished....either is fine...but no biggie.

Is it possible that the trimming on the tusks / tubes was due to damage?
would seem the only logical reason to me.

It's all supposition just going by the cut mark on the mouth triangle. I had assumed repaired long and cut short.
