I started working on a new metal collar project! The idea behind it is, well something sturdy, unyielding but also rounded and low profile. Heavy lock support wasn’t really planned, but if it fits…

The rear hinge is the bit that took me the longest to get “just right” (weird annoying shape). It still needs some welding on the front.

I could also add a registration “tenon & mortise” between the locking flanges, I’m not sure yet. It more or less looks the part, as with all models, texturing is everything.
