Thank You rrebell. 

 

By the way I electrocuted myself doing static grass on that scene. My belly was touching the watery glue that sipped on the edge of the facia and while spreading the thing I got shocked right through the arm and down my belly. Bad feeling. I didn't know I could get shocked like this with a static grass applicator (transformed bug zapper)

But I think the scene is coming together. 

 

:)

I got a bug zapper too, made two of them, thought the one had stopped working because I forgot the one had two buttons to push for power, the other one.

There are always doubters and critics (including yourself).  Feeding them is a challenge for most, including me.  How many times have we seen something in real life or on someone's layout and we want to replicate it?  There's nothing wrong with trying new things.

At day's end just follow Wilde's quote "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."

 Bug zappers are high voltage, very high voltage, but low current. So you get a nice buzz if you touch the wires.

 You get the same sort of thing from the back EMF from a relay, or in particular an electromechanical buzzer.
