    Do you put circuit boards in the model itself or in the model's base?

    Micro set & sol

    I purchased a replacement decal set from JT Graphics and it went on smooth as butter! It's a great decal set becase the main section of the bird is in one piece; as opposed to split down the middle in the Round2 kit which is murder to try and match. The micro sol and set reacted very nicely to...

    Micro set & sol

    Good idea; I tried that but there were hundreds of bubbles, the entire decal wrinkled...and the BOP is a very big decal!

    Micro set & sol

    Thanks for the advice. The proceedure was done as suggested; applied set, positioned and placed decal, apllied sol on top. Decal was wrinkled still after 1 hour, applied more sol, repeat, repeat and repeat...still poop. Maybe the decals in the the Round 2 BOP are not so great. I ordered another...

    Star Destroyer kit wanted

    I'm looking for a SD kit, doesn't have to be a sealed box as long as all parts are included. I've seen star destroyers on eBay for a total of $30, shipping included. If you have one you'd like to get rid of for less let me know. Thanks!

    How long do you leave LEDs and/or circuits running on your breadboard before giving the OK to build on perfboard? Once you go from bread to perf do you allow that to run a long time before installing to model? Thanks.

    I've been relying on the online calculator to do the math but when I did it manually this is what I found for 9v... White LED = 3.3) 9 – 3.3 = 5.7 / 0.02 = 285 ohm Blue LED = 3.3) 9 – 3.3 = 5.7 / 0.02 = 285 ohm Green LED = 3.3) 9 – 3.3 = 5.7 / 0.02 = 285 ohm Red LED = 2.0) 9 –...

    Lighting Guru Grendels, I got my LEDs & they sent resistors with them. The resistors differ from charts I've seen online. I requested 9v. Here is what came in the package... All resisors are 1/4 W green, blue & white = 300 ohm red & orange = 360 ohm The resistors they sent differ from this...

    Hey, it's me again...power question this time... I see Mastech power supplies all over Ebay and Amazon; they have very mixed reviews...some love them; others hate them. Any suggestions on a good variable power supply? Thanks.

    Grendels, I took your advice on buying LEDs in bulk from Ebay; you saved me a lot of cash! I checked out your 555 timer vids and had a question about purchasing capacitors. Ebay has sellers offering a mixed bag of caps; should I buy those, if not I'd appreciate any suggestion where to get...

    Noob question here. I'm planning on getting into lighting models. Is this a good power supply for testing circuits? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Precision-Variable-Adjustable-15V-1A-DC-Power-Supply-Regulated-Cell-Phone-Repair-/160782184344?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256f5d6f98

    Greetings from Zulu

    I just purchased my first kit; the AMT665 Star Trek Romulan Bird of Prey. I thought it best to start with something not too complex and I've seen a few vid builds of this one to help me along.
