Wow...that's a lot of hot glue. You may want to reconsider your wire lengths and assembly order. With a few wire channels you can skip the glue all together. Use some locktite or even jbweld on you chassis if you worry about it coming loose. Some of those wires could be cut to size and pulled tight and resoldered with the board in place quite easily. If you want a nice reveal it's worth it. Especially for a graflex. Otherwise nice save. Some weathering might be a good idea to go with some of the natural wear.

Now THAT'S what Anakin's saber looked like after a battle on Mustafar then thrown into a chest for 20 years in the desert.

The whole eye or just the lens? If it's the whole eye I'd go with JB weld personally.
