I was 12 before I stopped having nightmares about Ming the Merciless, and now they're back. Thanks a lot, Dave. :p

I guess you could say you have inspired me to try some metal. If I remember that after the new shop is up🥴

The "metal work" on this is pretty basic. Challenge was finding the couplings (left over from another project)- I could picture them but had no idea what to look for. Persistent googling found them - they are model airplane servo linkage parts. Epoxied into the body. That and a brass rod from the hardware store....

BTW that other project was "PCDF C4-T1" - which I did right before my cervical fusion last year. Turned out to match the X-rays pretty well.
