Colonel Moran presents the first proof-of-concept dry-fit of the components, excepting the electronics and switching gear.
Looks awesome already (perhaps not so much in the photograph), a little over two feet long with a nice heft thanks to the sheer number of PVC fittings (9 including the pipe sections) and and the construction of the spaceframe members, mostly half-inch threaded rod with a sleeve of copper pipe.
The copper looks staggering after being buffed on a cloth wheel, and then given a coat of carnuba wax to prevent damage from fingerprints.
Next up: The electronics are installed, then I have to take it all apart, wash the plastic (I may use the dishwasher) than prime and paint everything before reassembling and doing a touch-up paint job.
It is going to be fun taking this to parties.
