So, the parts arrived as I said, and I've already assembled it for a dry run, of course pictures are taken.

Numbers one and three are probably the most interesting, because I forgot to turn the reflex sight on for number two, and I'm tired.
As you can see, the theory is sound - The grip is massive (It even fits my monsterous hands nicely) so there's plenty of space for the buttons. As demonstrated by a previous journal, the Wiimote board fits nicely into the gearbox, which as you can see, still fits into the gun (As denoted by the trigger - Which is a really nice steel trigger, also very light to pull, so no worry of 'finger fatigue') The only thing that was missing in the order was the wiring looms for the normal airsoft switch - Doh!
However, as you can see from image one, I've stripped the contents of the mag out, and all going well, I should have the battery equipment fitted tomorrow. The battery cabling and special size caddy turned up, 2700mAh rechargables, 1.3v. A shade under the normal AA voltage, but since I won't be driving a motor off it, I'm not seeing it being a problem. Hopefully the soldering iron tip will turn up tomorrow (A 1mm Antex bit for a CS18) along with the lead free solder and flux, which should mean I can get on with stripping the IR and unchuck plugs tomorrow, assuming the magbattery goes well (I've been sizing up, and if I play my cards right I'll get no rattle, and have to do very little cutting into the main plug, which will be nice)
I will post more pictures (Assuming there's anything worth posting!) tomorrow, mostly going to be of the battery mag.
On the way home I also bought some white paint, for the Lian Li case frontage, and the magbattery. I've got some clear coat designed for motorcycle wheels on order, so that should withstand the mag catch with a few layers (I'm shooting for ten to fifteen layers of clearcoat on two layers of white. Sanding down the mag shell to bare aluminium if it's not anodised is obviously a part of the plan).
Consider yourselves updated!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some computer parts to attach. Namely some more RAM (Useless until I install a 64bit OS, but my drives were delayed, so I can't do that until next week) and a Lachesis mouse.

I just have this really odd thought, now, of him sat there doing the typical chibi arm-waving making a 'squeee' noise >.>

I'm quite the same with movies and people asking me if they're scary. Of course they're not, they're movies.
Sadly they never seem to agree with me.
