Just wait until he gets to, "Guys, should I have drilled 83,487 windows or 83,486? Should I paint over one?"
Seriously, Rob, it's looking perfect and amazing!

Fortunately for Rob, He will only have to do half of the windows, as I have volunteered my services.

Good man. I'd have offered too if I weren't 3000 miles away.
Heh, but if Rob wants to buy me a plane ticket to sunny CA, that's worth drilling a few thousand holes.
lol Oh, man, that got a good laugh out of me!

Brad... Yes, and no...!
On for the dates; yes. But you're way optimistic to think we'll be drilling windows! Sanding primer, laying a base coat, maybe some entry level masking - that's more in line with where I'll be in a couple of weeks!
In the mean time, here's some more eye candy...
Have been worried about if the dish is deep enough (what haven't I worried about!?). Well - I caught the model in the late afternoon sun with a beautiful shadow, and now am not so concerned...
Silver balls...
Light leaks in all the expected places.

Wow, looks like the perfect depth on the dish now that it's painted.

This thing is just cool beyond words.
The downside?
We have these mirrored, 3 foot diameter half spheres at work that hang over head at intersections that allow foot and motor traffic to see all 4 approaches for oncoming traffic.
Now, thanks to your impressive build, every time I look at one, I think,
"Gee, if I could sign a pair of those out, maybe damaged or sumpthin', I could build my own giant Death Star..."
Fortunately, at least to this point, I haven't actually forgotten to check for approaching fork trucks.
