I think that it might be easier to look for a giant with a big hand. That way you could maybe get it up to a workable size to build.  :lol: :lol:

Nice find as usual.

Cheers  :beer:

Ah yes Jerry Kieffer. I believe he turned a thread of something like 0000-120 or something that small. All I can say is he must have been born with magnifing eye's. :bugeye:
