It's brought up in the past, and I agree, the dome probably should come down a smidge. What's the best way to lower the dome?

My first thought was wrapping the mounts in blue painters tape (inside and out), then using a file to file away a little a time until it sits at the height where I want it.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

c

Getting all giddy and anxious - the TM ANH finished by VaderMonkey arrives tomorrow. How do I hit fast forward?...
