    I can only only imagine what the future holds for 3D display models.

    Thanks folks. There was little to none info about that storage space. So this is the realm of my fantasy. It's not finished yet. A bit more cargo and the ladder to climb down are still missing.

    If the inside is this good, the outside should be something to behold.

    Yeah, Nick. The good Doctor had me entranced with his radio-shack. But, the dry-goods space, adjacent the battery well.... That blew me away! So much like the spaces on submarines and ships I served on. I found myself looking for rat droppings and bugs -- the display is that good!

    The finished result of the battery painting looks great. You must have done it without any caffeine in your system. Tedious work.

    The most repetitive part of this built is done....the batteries are painted. Next will be cabling and ventilation piping....

    That's true, but if you short the busbar, it will give some nice firework, touching a busbar won't hurt you, even making connection with your body between two busbars won't give much trouble, as you stated, your body resistance is much too high to cause problems.

    Just my two cents.

    I agree, if you short a high power battery, it'll burn. But at 120 V your body won't be very effective at shorting a battery. 120V are potentially deadly but you're body has quite a high resistance.

    Of course, you're right.

    But, in my own defense, I was a dumb-ass kid who had just cross-decked from a Tender. I was regarded as only a new non-qualified-play toy to be ****ed with mercilessly till I got the smarts (it took me nine-long-months) to get a set of Dolphins slammed into my chest.

    Looking good David!
