Ahhhh... where did you see that??

Correct! As long as you connect the power supply to the appropriate 2 pinouts and NOT via the USB port. The USB port is 5V only. and it can run down to 3.3.V so it can run off 3.7V Lipo if needed. Its a brilliant little board.

6 weeks is the ETA for the Cats Eye to be stocked again at Starship Modellers!! YUS!!!!!! Start saving ladies, and concocting plans to hide it away from the Wife.

Sent David, aka Blappy, a message last night about when he'd be making any more. Will pass on the response. He has his own website store too. http://www.blapmodels.com/

Ok... I took a piece of Clear styrene, chemically burnt it... Acetone is great for ruining good canopies and spent the morning sanding it all back. So far so good, its working. The catch is though... you will start to lose the definition between the canopy frame and the area that should remain clear. But at 1/72 a crisp paintline for the frame can disguise that.

Thats why I said I had to email the bigger ones which were 2Mb each. Which you got. Claiming a gy has blocked you and not responded with answers when he already gave answers in plenty of detail it being unappreciative. Mentioning you spent money on buying stuff to fix the problem and so he should provide you with more answers or its his fault you wasted money... is ungrateful. YOu complained about low qual scans and I said thats all photobucket would allow. To get the higher detail versions youd need to get them emialed. I did that. YOu complained. Maybe you'd rather no one bothered to respond at all? To fix the canopy, you need to sit down and start sanding it. First with a 1200 grit wet and dry sanded wet, very wet, then down to finer grades until you get to polishing pastes, as stated already. It will take hours... a few nights in front of the TV with a towel and a bowl of water. There is no quick fix. WHEN you have actually tried that, not thought about it, but given it a go, let us know how you got on. It WILL work, just not as quickly as you wreaked it in the first place.

Nice... although it would have been better being named the RNZS Te Kaha...

Really?? That makes the SV-51 the same size if not slightly bigger! Damn the ES-11D is TINY

Having hardware issues with my PC as I'm running all SSDs and am out of Storage space. Heading into town now to get another SSD or 3 to fit into the beast. In the meantime I've created a dropbox with the first set of page scans to try yourself with setting up a trinket to flash an LED. I'll add more relevant detail after i get back with the SSDs... and they work in the PC... and I stop wanting to shoot the PC... Dropbox link here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fxkf5259b5j5rb8/simon%20scan%20of%20book.pdf?dl=0 Try the first 3 pages were they get you to set up a test to get the Trinkets ONBOARD LED blinking.

The books very noob friendly Are you using a 3.3v Trinket, 5V one or the Trinket Pro? I'll post up how to set up a single and dual Neopixel with wiring and codes to try to make them show different colours and flashings etc in a couple of hours. That will give you something to play with over the weekend.

Tread very carefully here... His answer to your question HAS been helpful AND detailed. You come across as rather demanding and less than appreciative of any help offered no matter what it is. You did the same with me wanting better scans than what I could provide of decals for your screw ups on your Wave Destroid. I'd guess he has less patience for you than I do after reading the above demands for answers. The floor polish is an acrylic based clear coat. So go ask at a flooring place in Europe for just that, an Acrylic based floor clear coat/polish. THAT product will be the same as Future (USA)/Krystal Klear (Aus/NZ)/Pledge (UK) and what ever they call it in Asia Your canopy is wreaked as it is right now. Take the advise and start sanding it. Or dont. There is little more this community can do to help you with this mistake beyond all the advise you already have recieved.

Can you measure it for me sometime? Wingtip to wingtip Nose to Tail Belly to the radome or tail, which ever is tallest. Curious as to what sized case it would need

that's 2 of us

yep, that's the first project in the book, Its super easy to follow and quick.

All the shops should do the figure painting lessons and there is a TON of resources online for GW painting. I can dig up some relevant ones for you if you like. I used to paint competitively back in my pre Army University days.

Yes and no. PMMA is the techo name for Perspex Optical fibre. Its actually a POF or Polymer Optical Fibre with a perspex (acrylic) core and a polymer cladding. Its the one you want when you need to turn corners and DONT want snapped fibres or splinters in your fingers. They can be single solid cores with a sheath or without and they can be bundles of fibres in one sheath. The sheath stops light loss though the walls of the strand. Useful, not essential. Adafruit Trinket How Too Manual arrived today so I'll flick through it and summarize the relevant points for our projects over the next week. Specifically: Adding LED Control - Flashing, Fading, Colour shifting Adding Movement Control - Servos, DC Motors, Stepper Motors Adding Sound FX Adding Triggers - Switches, PIR, Timers. Power Sources - Button Cells, LiPos with Recharge function, Mains Power Anything else we can think of to explore, yell out.

Well that sucks... no EX Gear pilot. Pass

a decade since the VF17 appeared and we've waited for a 1/72 version... alittle longer waiting wont kill anyone

wait... you did this over 2 days??

Damn... you work fast!!

Take a bow dude...

Line art does look better

listen the voices.... whats that? you want to make the VF-17 fighter?.... ok....

I'm thinking more along the lines of our resident 3D gurus coming up with one or our own over the next year like they did for the Drones and now the Workroid. Being WAAAAAAAY Down under in NZ getting to Wonderfest isnt an option and Proxy buyers dont exist.

I REALLY need a 1/72 VF-17 and a VF-171 series fighters in my Hall Museum but they JUST DONT EXIST! I'll pay a few hundred for one and I'm sure a couple of others would jump on the band wagon with this (maybe not paying the price I would...) to fill out the orders. This is a weird one as its not an uncommon design in the anime series yet its never been done in this scale while most everything else has. Any takers?
