On the advise of @FL000 , I've fabb'd up a 'Mold of the lens using paper + spray starch. Several coats of starch, heat gun to dry and finished product came out good.

Thanks guys @FL000 @burton73 for the kind words + Happy New Year 2025 !

The Paper maché proj was EZ to grasp , as my Wife (40+ year) educator taught me well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Hard part was finding the Starch product on a market shelf > CVS came thru !
Bob, these projects are a bit more demanding on us nowadays...NOT as easy on our bones like the '70/80's when you + I had our shops in Culver City 90230 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
