Im inclinded to think most of those pices i have indicated are in fact plastic /ABS as they are on the "tree-o-parts" with all the others. Ill take make shure to include a few pics of the parts trees.

Im going to start the painting tonight, after i finish my "custom" stand. The cheezy wood they included in the kit didnt cut it for me (a woodworker also) so i have the parts ripped out of some spanish mahogany.
