Wow, that's pretty impressive!
I'm itching to see it, but I guess to take pictures of it, you'd need a
magnifying glass...
I'm assuming you did this by cutting or filing down the transistor case,
1381 case, etc. From the size, it sounds you you cut them down a lot.
I'd be interested into how far and where you can cut them down before
breaking them, if you feel like sharing your (presumably) hard-won
experience :-)
Can you cut down resistors without changing the resistance?
