Thank you Satazius! It's a fun project for sure...

Here is some further check work that I did for the Mandibles. And yes, they do toe inwards per Andre and Joshua's excellent blueprints.
Each iteration making slight adjustments to the geometry of the overall length and side wall angles.
As stated previously, for a while I was going back and forth between the mandible thickness. For whatever reason I seemed to have the thickness over 2" (not including styrene armor plating), based on my initial photogrammetry solve. Again after careful scrutiny and much adjusting of my geometry I was very pleased that I came back to 2" which is essentially what everyone is currently working to.
It reinforces comments made by other pioneering builders of this model that much of the key dimensions are cardinal measurements.
