So the Milgauss 6541 is a build one would fataly want to attempt sooner or later, this' mine and only this time I will do it quick and kind of dirty.
Maybe you know that it is a very expensive build, very hard to get the parts, and that the case is very special with a faraday soft iron cage inside. I just skipped that last bit, but will eventually get the right case later of course :D

This is a set up just because I received the dial, the hands and the insert and I am dying to see it all together. But I am sure it'll need still work to make it great.
Seeing it, I already like it a lot! :D
I didn't even aged the hands but nevermind, let see it that way I can correct it later!

First those awesome gens for references :

This is lovely Redheart, bravo!

My first modding project was on the same Milgauss (but a JKF cheapy). I snapped a drill bit off inside the lug while enlarging it, and abandoned that project...

Thanks bud!
About your 6541, get it out of the project box, and hammer out that broken drill bit! I saw some lovely JKFs for that 6541!

I already have an entire replacement JKF 6541! As usual, it's just a matter of me "getting around to it"... :)

Goodness. This is just so pretty. I'm super jealous. Lets hope I can get the parts I'm looking for too. I've emailed MQ... one month ago? They never got back to me.
