Good video.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

 Oh, OK, I have heard of that.
It's a fun touch, and keeps the videos moving along, as does the background music. I like your style, sir!

Great series Buzz
Quite an ambitious project to build a chassis from scratch and you did a fine job! My only suggestion if you deal with decals again in the future is to buy some Micro Set and Micro Sol. Micro Set prolongs the working time if you have issues getting the decal in the correct position and promotes better adhesion. Micro Sol softens the decal after application and helps it blend in with the surface, especially helpful for uneven or rough surfaces (wood grain?).
Thanks for taking the time to make and share your videos!
