It looks like the project is a go. :O)

The fascia, handle and buttons that "Mach" sent are not extremely difficult casts. I'll know more about how well the resin holds up as a handle after I've cast a few and tested them. Much thanks also to Paul for his generous offer of a loaner.

Given my current projects, it'll be about mid-May before I'll have more time to sit down with it and make the preliminary molds. I'll keep things updated here as they progress.

If someone needs a quick answer to any questions, please email me direct. Otherwise, I'll check back here occasionally as time permits. Replying to one of my posts here will forward your post to me, too.
