Thinking about the Box For this project, I would like to have some carton boxes. Since this is a mini-shop, some extra rations could exist for the soldiers. Heck, even some fruits are possible and while we’re at it, how about some Durians too? But then , this would mean having a table inside an […]

20250918 Pre-Wired SMD LEDs
SMD LEDs A typical SMD (Surface Mount Device) LED measures about 2.0mm long and 1.25mm wide, which is the size of a typical 0805 SMD LED. That size is as common as those though-hole equivalent of 5mm LEDs. SMD devices can be very tiny, with the current 0201 being the smallest, of having the footprint […]
20250917 Gecko Models 35GM0118: Lighting Effect
After some searching on the Internet, I realised that these containers are referred to as, “Conex Boxes” combined from Container and Express. Yeah they do exist. Many of the images were in black and white and I was searching for the correct paint. In the manual, it was Life Colour MMP-058 which if I am […]
20250913 Yamato 2199 Expansion Set
This was one of those times when I joined a pre-order but it never arrived. This was also one of the reasons I kept my 1/500 Yamato 2199 in storage. The expansion set came out around mid-2014, just half a year after the 1/500 Yamato 2199. In a nutshell, the expansion set gives you that […]
20250911 Spinner: Top Revolving Light New PCB Design
With the new dimensions for the SMD LED’s cut-out, I re-created the shape again from InkScape before importing it into EaglePCB. The only problem is that no matter what I did, there is a ‘leak’. Understandably, JLCPCB confirmed this when I uploaded the design. So, most of the day was spent on trying to figure […]
