The Sniper's nest ergonomics.

Wondering what the object on the floor is. Seems like a light bulb or a stubby screwdriver.

I believe that it is a flashbulb from one of the cameras that were up there at that time. They were one-time use bulbs and trash after they were used.

I read somewhere that two light bulbs were turned off or missing in the corner

This is still a work-in-progress, but here is a preview of the 3D mock-up of the sniper's nest that I am working on:

Nice work, I look forward to see how this progresses. One thing I'd like to see is a recreation of the Powell Dillard photos and more proof that the boxes weren't moved. Also the outermost tip of the angled rolling reader box is definitive proof that the Police didn't mock up the rifle rest.

Thanks John, here are two views from my mock-up to compare with Powell's and Dillard's photos with:





I am not a photographic expert. However, it appears to me that Powell must have been very close to the corner of the county records building. The location on Roberdeau's map might be off a little, or I am looking at things wrong.

Thanks Charles, I missed your post the first time round. Your 3D model proves that the rolling readers box was angled down Elm street and the boxes behind were never moved.

You’re welcome John. Creating the mock up was a lot of tedious work. But definitely worth while. Now, if I just had the knowledge and tools to turn it into something that would work with the virtual reality head mounted displays, etc. That would be very useful.
