It doesn't look as if we took any pictures that show the finished result. We were trying to get the same same effect as PowerTab or SuperTab part -- a wide, flat tab for both the source and drain connection.

The copper strips are soldered the whole length of the pins with a generous amount of lead solder, so I don't expect enough mechanical stress to cause cracking.
