Depending on where you live, you might run into my friend taking these photos in the woods.

You got your group buy going. Awesome.

GB Aluminum 40s are not quite my niche in the scene, but I've loved seeing your development process here, and I wish you the best of luck. Pop over to Keebtalk and post there if you haven't. As long as you engage with the community, the occasional promotional post seems to be fine.

Thank you! I'll take a look at Keebtalk!
