Usually the proper use of the gallery forum is to start with pictures and then get feedback on those pictures. In this thread you are basically saying: "I'm working on some stuff, that is all. Feel free to discuss."
If you don't have pictures yet, then there really isn't much of a point to opening a thread about your build. Naturally then the discussion will be about you instead of about your build.
Edit: oh hey this isn't in the gallery forum. I would say this belongs there except for the lack of pictures...
