Thanks for the comments guys! Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been working hard to get everything ready for PAX Aus which was this weekend that just went. Overall everything came together really well and very happy with the final product.
I'll update with details of my strapping and build after next week when I get home from another con, where I'll hopefully get to meet Nathan Fillion.
Post any questions you may have, I'll do my best to answer or take detailed photos of you are interested
