Limited Run BUCKAROO BANZAI Oscillation Overthruster Run

I have completed my prototype pushpin for my overthruster and I am excited to share the results. I remain intimadated at the prospect of applying paint to my overthruster, Shawn.

Here are the parts assembled. I made a few smaller pins out of brass to see how they look Vs the cast buttons.

Wow, after looking at Shawn's and D48thRonin's, I see I really stink at painting. I was trying for a bluish silver, and the can said "blue silver", but it looks green. Is that like chicken of the sea tasting like tuna?

Shawn's overthruster is magnificent.

Received my overthruster safe and sound a couple days ago. Perfect kit. Thanks again.
 
I was thinking about buying a case but it would hide too much of the beauty and detail of it. I haven't yet landed on a great display for it yet though. The gyroscope that it locks into in the jet car would be perfect but I don't even know where to start with that.
 
Anybody happen to remember what size Cap Head Hex Machine Screws were used on this? I have a crappy resin Overthruster. It's NOT one of these. It's bad, but I hate to throw it out. Thought I'd look around here on the RPF and ask before I try and guess. Thanks for your time.

I don’t have one of these but at a cursory glance they look like M4 x 10

Cool. Thanks. I didn't find any that small at my local hardware stores (Menards and Lowes) where I could actually see them and judge for myself. I went to order some online and got on shaky ground as to know what size to get.
 
This came together pretty quickly all things. Here's the kit, which is $85.00 (shipped in the US) and includes everything you see here. Please pm for details and thanks for looking...!

I'm probably the 5000-ish person to ask, but any chance of a (2nd, 3rd, 4th?) run before oh say end of the year? Has nothing to do with meeting PW in January, no, why do you ask?
