Looking at the latest update and at your previous post, I was thinking that this is an excellent thread to glean details from for super detailing a 1/32nd kit! So.... I will be paying even closer attention ........  ;D

  Dan,
OUTSTANDING machine works my friend. Fantastic first progress! I'm very much impressed with the high level of skill and craftsmanship you shown us here. Don't be surprised if you're soon referred to as a Master Level Modeler.

 I can hardly wait to see more of this Opus Magnum.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

This is such excellent craftsmanship that if I didn't know it was improvements on a SCALE MODEL, I would think I was watching a Replica build in 1/1 scale  :D

Would it be overly redundant if I just said "WOW!'?

Thanks guys for your kind words...
However, remember, i'm working in 1/8 scale...

This post will be in two parts, to heavy?
First one:

Well, today, control rod (or stick may be...)
Not really easy, but I enjoy the result!
Hope you too...
