Fantastic travel scope! I'm itching to try this myself, despite my limited craftsmanship. Where did you get the plywood, BTW? I might start by rebuilding my 8" GSO Dob mount in this material...
Looking through your photos (also, having re-flocked my Mak just last week) it occurred to me that the ProtoStar Flock Board material would make an ideal (full or partial) tube for a highly portable scope like yours. It stores flat, weighs practically nothing and will form a rigid tube around anything you care to wrap it around. Also, it's pitch black on the inside, of course.
Cheers
Steffen.
