I don’t know, you might be able to do something with the
Technic Driving Ring Extension...in dark grey on the newer

In fact, I figure that the “bar” is where the bulk of the electronic

the real thing would have a binocular effect. It does
ooze “tankiness” and stability.
The construction is a real inspiration, as always.
