I got myself an old Al Mar A-F, and with it a new project : rebuilding handle scales !
I did not find any 3D model of them, only this
forum thread with some sketches of the Boker Combat II
1st step (done) : some photogrammetry with the PolyCam app to get the rough shape of the "less broken" handle scale (the result is quite stunning visually -but will need a lot of clean up work-)
next steps planned already :
2d step : find help to make a 3D model of it (which gonna be available to anyone that would need it : nearly every single A-F of that era has broken handles)
3rd step : get a print prototype in PLA
4th step : get a print made in fiber reinforced filament to have perfectly usable scales
