Mag. compass housing made from various thicknesses of sheet styrene. Knobs made from toothpicks. Shaped hardwood form in vise to smash-mold bubble for dial containment.

Clear bubble made and test-fitted in place w/ excess ready to be trimmed away.

Completed outer module glues in place. Degree markings around base of bubble made from an oversized instrument face perimeter.

Completed module with inner "floating" dial bedded in resin to give it a liquid setting, which also keeps it firmly in place.
