Thanks- and yes, there are a lot of details that I would normally have done
differently. The use of the angled stanchions and the big goofy radar array
strike me as classic BT construction. Were it not for the contest, I would
probably have finished out those details quite differently. I'm quite
pleased with the result... and now I've learned a couple of new things.
And thanks to John and Mark for the kind words as well.

fact, I'm having to force myself to find the time for this... but that's not
a bad thing, as I'm really having fun with it!
