I judged my depths of cut, bit by bit, using my own pistol prop. I’ve had to be quite liberal in the cavity dimensions, because this one is for a friend who already has his own Tesla, and I don’t know the exact dimensions of it.

I judged my depths of cut, bit by bit, using my own pistol prop. I’ve had to be quite liberal in the cavity dimensions, because this one is for a friend who already has his own Tesla, and I don’t know the exact dimensions of it.
Carving out the foam insert for the Tesla presentation box.
Oh, it gets better!
Plug it into a USB port and it will simulate the charge in the pistol, thanks to the modern volt meter innards.
Time to address the lens. This is flexible acrylic, for safety, and is cut to fit the inner contours of the top section. A few dabs of hot glue will hold it in place. Chrome screws in front and black self tappers at the back hold the case together, just like the real thing. This part is done!
Brass knob and braided cord in place, next is the black one. This is a metal powder reinforced resin cast, with a coat of 1k smart black primer. The screws have to be flush to avoid the inner workings.
Attaching the knobs to the meter. As with the previous build, these are dummies, and just require countersunk screws
