Bilora Bella 44 – 127 – Now Complete

I have been waiting for some leatherette to complete this camera. I had some left over from my last project so why not use it here?

This is a lovely looking camera that I fell instantly in love with, great design made of tin pot metal basically and uses old 127 film.

It has been completely stripped down and rebuilt and is a lovely specimen in my eyes.

Bilora Bella templates for leatherette

I have today made templates for the new skin and these have gone on lovely.

So for now I’ve done all I can do on this little beauty, it will now be vacuum packed with silica gel and put into my collection for use at a later date maybe when I get a roll of 127 film. Been a pleasure working on this camera, she’s taught me plenty and I am already putting that to use. Knowledge is king 👑

Now I’ve reached a point that I can now say, time to wrap this job up and put it to bed.

Job done 👍

See that snake over there? Well it’s under his belly somewhere…
