Debating on going all brass accents. Want better screws for the control box.

edit: ah, the kill switch is a tiny drawer knob? I forget... had to bore the hole out to fit the plastic nub which kinda hurts and is for sure as hell hard to get out with just your fingers. Used some left over epoxy ... it set crooked but I just needed something to get the damn thing out quickly. Glad I got that version of the kill key. Honestly I think it was the only one left in stock lol.

Salute! ;D

I had to cut that part for the switchbox out; which was crazy. Went to town on that piece though and learned a lot. Weathering seems like some fun.  Grab bag may be in my future, distant future...

My wifes over it.  ;)

Awesome!!  Stunning job :).  Yeah I'm also a big fan of that box, great call- great call on all the pieces actually, everything really goes together/ flows beautifully!  Very clean/ pro assembly. Point awarded. 

I think the additional swapping for brass would really set it off too. The ones in the box are cool IMO, though I can relate, I always prefer button/ square/ hex etc., basically anything that looks more like a rivet as opposed to Robertson or Philips (square/ star) or slotted- dunno why though lol.

Good job on the box.  Looks good. By the post I assume in the back of your mind your thinking on ways to make things more smooth when in use. Have you considered flat head screws and counter sinking them vs the brass button heads? The nub you could always create a cone housing

I have yet to configure the profiles and like 50% of the settings but I have the basics covered I believe. Wiring in the LED was easy but tricky. Had figure that one out. Gonna work out a chassis system for my next build.
