A pic i came up with using Mr.Meats wire technique. I feel like I’ve come a little ways with ZB2, but I also fell like I am light-years behind. Same with last pic, I can’t change a material, and have it not effect every other object with the same material. I use different layers, I try copy and pasting, and nothing works, So aggrivating. In this picture, I actually used a texture, which I never do, I just use materials, but I used a texture on the metal head. I made the texture in Corel-Photo Paint 7, which was also used for some post work on this pic (pht-edge, text, nostral exhale). Thanks for viewing (Feed back welcome).
maybe this will help you visualize what we were trying to help you with a little…if not…say so and I’ll try to help you clear this up better.

what that means is if you have 10 objects you want to share the same or basically the same material buttttttt be able to change one objects material at will…then you need to save 10 instances (renamed mat001-mat010) of the same material then when you draw object 001 load mat001 before moving to obj 002 in which you would load mat002 etc.
that way if you change mat001’s slot…mat 002 etc will not be affected.
