Best build ever! I always drool over this one, at Scale 4x4, and have been watching it closely on that forum! Nice to see you bring it over here to share. You have a ton of talent and patience!

Wow, nice work! Do you use a torch, soldering iron or resistance soldering iron? How do you decide whether to use brass or copper? Or, put another way, why use copper at all - is it better for shaping for curves?
