It's been a fun year. I bought a nearly brand-new Tac-One from the fine folks at Ezcreation.ca at the beginning of the year and was itching for a project. Decided to make a Mini-Tac out of it and got the Tac body cut by the Tonsixers.
Dust black was fine at the beginning, but I wanted gloss. So pretty, even if fingerprints get everywhere on it. So in the course of the year, I swapped some parts, had some anodized, tried different combinations, until the marker was complete. The barrel, a FLASC 3-piece micro barrel, was the last component needed to get anodized and I got it back a few days ago and the results are beautiful. I even got it Freak-bored!
Onto pics. The obligatory "before" picture:
