It’s ugly but somehow I got the height just right.

Heck yeah, nice. Ya can’t post pics and not tell how you did it.
It's been a process. Even though the MBA3 comes with an adjustable cheek rest it wasn't tall enough for my set up. At first I stacked and molded some kydex and that kinda worked but was ugly as sin. I had a really good pattern by then though; so I just cut out a nice heavy piece of leather, stamped a basket weave on it, did some shading on the parameter. Then I wet molded a piece of dowel rod down the middle to give it a good ridge line and let it all dry. Later I removed the dowel rod and packed in some horse hair.
I read somewhere kydex is hard to glue to, but I checkered it really good with a box knife and roughed the leather with a wire brush. Using some contact cement it worked like a charm. If I were to do it again I would mold the leather first, then do all my tooling, glue and cut
