When I look at a picture of a real one, it appears to me that the C disk is on top of the Periscope disk, which in turn is on top of the B & A disks. The C & Periscope disks are transparent. This is how my home-made one is. The only problem with this is that the C disk curls up, but it's easy to live with.

Thanks Krunch and Hitman! Now if I can only find a mechanical stopwatch, I would be in Subsim Paradise.

Wow! That looks great! A lot better than my cruddy version. How did you go about doing it? Did you use a laminating machine? I'm thinking that's the only way to go, to keep the various layers flat. I went the cheap route and used some SelfSeal repositionable laminating sheets, but they just don't cut it - too floppy.

I used a thermal laminator over cardstock. The clear parts I used transparency with two layers of lamination. They are fairly rigid, but keep in mind the picture doesn't show all the imperfections.

Thanks, but really the credit goes to Hitman and Captain Krunch. All I did was follow instructions.
