If you want real arcoelectric lights for the wand (red slo-blo and clear on top next to the hat light) then Farnell are the cheapest place in the UK, I think they're about £3-4 each from memory.

I used some smaller socket cap screws to imitate the little stem nubs on the back of a pulled rivet. Once it’s all painted black I think it came out looking close. Love the obscure details!
I'll be putting the rivets through from the other side when I assemble it all properly as I know theres a picture of a screen used pack with rivet heads visible on the inside of the shell like so...

Looking forward to seeing at all in place on the shell.
The woven mesh you've used in the N-Filter looks spot on.
One small tip.
There's no bolt in the centre of the HGA.
This is a common misinterpretation of the reference that keeps cropping up these days.
It was once thought that there was a countersunk bolt there but in reality what's actually there is just an indentation from a centre punch left over from construction of the plate that caps the end of the part , surrounded by the accumulation of decades worth of detritus from their time on set and gathering dust on display in the years since.
Did it come out today? Ugh the art is so bad tho[…]
