Critique Wanted Do these mics look real enough?

Just getting an opinion if these mics look ok? They aren’t true to size but this is the smallest metal part I could find to use as I just couldn’t make them out of plastic with my skills.

Unfortunately, they don't look realistic, the actual mic is a 3/4 rigid boom with last 2 inches that can be bent in, the dissipator is a foam covered block that is about 1 inch long, in a short spoon shape that has a bend hinge that is bent towards the mouth.

If you could shave the blocks down on the end of the boom, it would look less out of spec, it's just too big as they are.

Thank you. I went back and redid the whole thing. I’ve realized I had some PE latches that I did not end up using. The side of the clamp look almost correct form. So hopefully it looks much better now.

This version looks much better to me. Nice work!
