Re: Classic MPC C-3PO and R2-D2 uber detail build

I've spent the last couple of days transferring my new circuit design to perf board.  But to give you all an idea of how the circuit is set up, here's the schematic:

My soldering skills leave alot to be desired.  I haven't done this much soldering since I was a boy making kit radios.  But back then I had the advantage of having much better eyesight!  Something I discovered with these particular chips is that you don't need a resistor or a capacitor to make them work.  I found a set of 5 of these CD4060BE chips on eBay for just under $4.00 and they were awesome!  So, after testing everything out on the breadboard,  I let it run most of the day to see if it would burn out or faulter in anyway, thank god, everything stayed working and flashing with no problems! 

Here we go... I began by soldering in the main power leads.

Next, I began soldering all the LED leads where they should go.

I'm hoping I don't have a crossed connection somewhere.  My soldering skills aren't the best.  If this fails I'll probably end up wiring everything together off board and just stuff it all up under the dome.  Next I'll be soldering all the LEDs and then I'll test it out.  Wish me luck!
