wink you folks are funny. To answer some of it:

Sorry I'm not a relative to Mr Foose, nor do I have any affiliation the the aforementioned show :P

I do not own mini army although I do own a classic Mini or two smile. I would been very handy with a small army but the budget even for a banana republic army is still not within my reach.

Finlay I don't need pictures to get tired, I am tired smile.

Seriously thanks for all the kind words, I will for sure keep you folks updated. I'm aiming for paint of the main body by mid next week if things goes to plan.

The reminder of this week I will do restfull stuff like sorting out and cataloging things that will go to:

* zinc clear chromate (as a sub for cad plating)
* chrome plating
* powder coating

Lots of small fun things to do smile
