Just the shell, top/bottom covers, and other misc. parts with IIIf internals - but interesting nonetheless.

Looks interesting. I had wondered about the practicalities or otherwise of a 3d printed body shell (inbuilt grip that wouldn’t interfere with base plate, pink plastic etc.), but this goes above and beyond. Given their construction Barnacks are probably one of the more customisable cameras as they can be practically hollowed out if needed. If anyone wanted to do a digital conversion there is space for electronics and you could just slip on a new body shell that was a bit thicker at the back. Just dreaming 😊

Oskar is either spinning in his grave, howling with laughter, or just plain gobsmacked.

Little did he know that plastics were the future 😎. (To paraphrase the line from the “The Graduate”)
