              there is no need for photoshop in order to crop a picture, just use mspaint or whatever you have. use the box maquee tool (looks like a box with dashed lines), drag it around the section you want in the picture, hit copy or cut, make a new file and paste it in. if theres extra space around the right and bottom sections, drag the little box in the lower right corner of the white area up to fit the pic.

              then save.


              on another note, it looks nice but where does the bolt start? will you be able to see the bolt/spring?

                I wouldn't try and mill it any more. Its already incredibly light, and I think all the body that hasn't already been milled should be left so it still has some strength. What little weight you could save from milling would be next to nothing. It is an aluminum body, which needs some thickness to it to keep strengh.

                Now if you just wanted some cosmetic milling, I would think you could do some REALLY shallow tear drops or something like that.

                  was that an X CnC or a stock X body that you started with?

                            I am sure you could mill it some more but i dont think it will look very good.

                              Uhhhh, SomebodySomeoneRTPcf, it seems like every post that I have seen of yours so far has been about how "sexy" or "cute" you are. Since things easily bug me, don't take it personally, but it was funny the first time, and now it's just starting to make you look kinda cocky. So unless you're some hot chick, please stop.

                              Now, back to subject. I don't think you should mill it unless you have an awesome design idea for it. XMags look hot anyways.
