My first comment when I saw your photos was 'ah man, that's really cool' - so I'll go with that. The silver and red both look excellent Borg.

Thanks guys. I have put a wash on to tone the shine a bit down and to add shading.
I have also bought 3D printed spoked wheels. These things are incredible. I will post some pics of those shortly. I have to figure out a way to attach them. I will probably have to make an brass or steel axle.
