A very interesting build. I wonder whether it is possible to make a replacement lens cover using water-clear resin (with colour added), or would it be too fragile? It looks like your lens is solid (12mm or so diameter, so 6mm thick?) which I guess would make it unlikely to break. Did you use the regular clear-casting resin from GRP suppliers? There is a 'special resin' available from a limited number of suppliers, but is hugely expensive!
