Knowing what you've been through with that dog you better stick with him a little longer...But thank you Saúl... 
Oh, lost three drill bits on this endeavor so it was a costly day.

mighty fine work bob! splendid!
Thank you Jerry, that scale is from the Voyager set of PE, there's another scale that is suppose to be mounted on the pedestal but I'm not sure how I'm going to get it on there now, may have waited too late.
James I may try another one to replace the plastic one, I sure ain't going to send it in for QA inspection though!!

Roughly, something like this will be attempted today.
Love it and Hate it Harv.
I opted out of some of the PE on this. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing wrong with the kit parts.
Specifically, I didn't do all the clamps and stuff. Nerves are not what they should be for that sort of PE work..
Here's update!
Hey Erik, that last shot is for you. The heads of the tools are AlcladII Steel color. Brushed on. Just pour some out in a bottle cap or whatever and let the thinner evaporate some. The pigment will concentrate and get thicker to the point of being able to cover a brush nicely. just dip your brush in some lacquer thinner and work up the pigments again. This allows you to get a good grain of the metal effect.
Hope y'all like this so far. I really would like the colors to look less uniform, like the two were painted at different times, differnt shades. Guess I'll work the oils a good bit and try to get that variance there.
Thanks for all the support!

looking good! lovely paint job!
Thanks folks, I'm going to attempt something I never worked with before, a Miliput cover for the breach.
Thanks Terry, now if anyone has a Milliput SBS I sure would appreciate it..
