It looks pretty much perfect from pictures and accuracy wise. I work with 6061 at work so was just curious about the difference in working the 5057.

oops i meant 5052

5052 Aluminum
5052 is the alloy most suited to forming operations, with good workability and higher strength than that of the 1100 or 3003 alloys that are commercially available.5052 is not heat-treatable, but is stronger than most of the 5xxx series of alloys. It has very good corrosion resistance, and can be easily welded. 5052 is not a good choice for extensive machining operations, as it has only a fair machinability rating.

Thats good to know. After seeing these I was thinking about taking a crack at it myself rather than the usual abs. Looks really good for sure. Definitely appealing as far as paint wise.

Oh and don't use 6061 you will be beating on it for days it is really hard.

6061 Aluminum
6061 Aluminum is, by most any measure, the most commonly used aluminum alloy. It is specified in most any application due to its strength, heat treatability, comparatively easy machining, and weldability. If that were not enough, it is also capable of being anodized, adding a layer of protection for finished parts.The main alloy ingredients of 6061 aluminum are magnesium and silicon.

I cant wait to see how the cod and knees turn out. This thread is making it pretty hard to wait to see the finished product.
