Thanks for kind replies. It was a fun but long build. We got a new addition to the family in July. An eight week old Border Terrier, and to say that the new puppy occupied a bit of my time is a huge understatement. But with her now being almost 6 months old there is a bit more free time and I can sneak away for a little bit of build time.

Thanks to you for the 5 stars and positive replies.
I'm happy to say that my efforts on this dio won me a Model of the Year award at my local IPMS Chapter. I was quite honored and a little humbled by it.
Here's a link if you're interested in a look. Just scroll down a bit. (I hope it's ok to post a link)
