Hi Guys,

I wasn't happy with my comlink used on my TK armour so I decided to make my own. :D

Armed with screen captures, i worked out dimensions and angles to produce this.

The original is on the right.

Ive made it from aluminium and bought it to a good polished finish ready for moulding.
That way others can benifit from my hard work.

(just to add, the grip and mic tips are to be added once the casting is removed)

That's totally sweet. Is the metal from off-the-shelf parts or did you mill that out?

Also is that basically a black cord that's wrapped all around like a spiral?
