Alu log guitar project

In the last days I've been considering again working on an aluminium hollow-body rectangle guitar - since I plan to build an alu plate folder for a pedal I have in mind, I'm wondering if I should not do it big enough to fold a piece suitable for a guitar body... 

The back made of wood, one neck pick-up (that's what I use most), a wrap-around bridge (to make a shorter body), a diagonal F-hole, a second-hand neck (I have a couple), that should do!  It doesn't seem so difficult now than when I had an idea last year - I've learnt a lot since! And I will start building again soon after a few months busy with relocating and start a new life (again) in a new country

If I ever had to do a custom paint on a guitar, I would probably choose a Japanese war flag (in Europe it is mostly a punk icon, like the swastika in Japan). Otherwise a few more sketches of the hollow-log project, and a few more about lucite + wood + aluminium composite guitars.

Lately I've been busy with semi-hollow guitars - that felt quite way out my league until I drew this kind of sophisticated cigar box with reminiscence of the log/LaBaye guitar... Another project to add on my to-do list.
But I realize now that if I seriously want to produce guitars, cool designs won't be enough for someone so remote from the pro circuit such as I am, so I need to create innovative and alternative guitars, such as the crackle guitar, the neckless guitar or this 'hollow log'...
