Very nice!!! I know what you mean about the strange hue to the Creation slide but you get used to it. I'll be interested to hear your results upon using it. I get about 12 shots on propane but I haven't changed the valves, piston head or nozzle yet. Also the Nine Ball hammer spring was too strong!! The slide wouldn't cycle properly.
Sorry to hi-jack but since you mentioned my inspiration here's a little photo of my TM M1911A1:
