Man, oh man, oh man!
I do like that fancy 'stuff'!
Charlie, IMHO, you can give up that day job, anytime you like,  and concentrate on the things that brings excitement to other peoples life. Your skills are simply phenomenal!

When a person can take an ugly piece of plain metal, and turn it into beautiful piece of art, trying to put that into words usually results in an inadequate description...

So I think this will suffice...

O..M..G.. Charlie, that is looking awesome. Sure wish I had even a small amount of your talent.
How are you finding the steel in that gun? I've heard that they're harder than others.
