Thanks all for the compliments. Most of the people on the other forums look, then go about their merry way, as if they don't want other members to know they saw this!  : I don't know why they'd be concerned with what their friends think. Isn't this what these forums are about, to share what we can do? 

This is 1/6th scale. This is less than 3" inches tall = 2" 3/4 tall without the base, or dust cover. This is 7 cm tall. It's almost 3" 1/2 inches tall with everything, (9 cm).  I forgot to post the work in progress pics here - I'll get to them, right now I have a lot of pictures to edit on other model forums. I'm getting ready to post all my work here today.  I have to post the rest of this build after I get the other pictures situated. Thanks again for looking!
