I did think about something similar myself at first, but the finances stopped me dead in my tracks, but after i got my C&D styrene dome and then saw Irishjedis Tamiya Silver painted dome i havent looked back. <br /><br />However i cant get moving forward as i am still without glue for my build. My gf in PR is holding some Weld-On #3 for me, but we're not certain it will ship here. Most of my frame is ready and cut, but im gonna do the top frame ring over again, as i thought of adding support for a slip ring, and i have one on order. I have also started cutting the skirt. Yesterday i got my Vmusic2 module in the mail. I have an order with XenoMarco for more parts (utility arms etc.) and i also got orders for spacers for the HP holders, dome paint and JB Weld on order. Today i've only tinkered with holoprojectors and the HP holders.<br /><br />I love coming by your blog to read. Good to see your making progress. I hope to be able to catch up with you in a few weeks.Therseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436382293233589415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210634290835080476.post-48394805361135534362010-08-25T14:26:36.103-07:002010-08-25T14:26:36.103-07:00Man! that is a cool idea! wish i would have waited...Man! that is a cool idea! wish i would have waited to do my skin now!
