The SMD LEDs I ordered some time ago has arrived just today. I have finished quite a lot of them and well, its either that or I’ve kept them somewhere else and forgot all about it. 20251020 Update Instead of creating a new post, I am going to put it here. 20 days later, the […]

20250923 Spinner: Top Revolving Light New PCB Design pt.2
The re-design of the PCB arrived from JLCPCB in just 11 days. In summary, this circuit board is to connect 5x 0805 type SMD LEDs to simulate the revolving siren light at the top of the Spinner. Originally, it was a 2 PCB concept where the LEDs were sandwiched between the two boards. However, during […]
20250922 Razor Crest The Continuation
From a Land Far, Far, Away… Oh, wow. My last update on this Project was in 20240217. And that’s more than one and a half years ago! And it was also the time of uncertainty due to a tribal scuffle resulting from a deteriorating papa. It was also the time where I had to slow […]
20250909 Spinner: That Inspiration pt. 2
And so, after the first inspiration hit a few days ago, I had another. This time, instead of making the sandwich, the idea is to use a single PCB board with the 0805 LEDs soldered in the middle. It is very difficult and time consuming to align the two halves together to match the soldering […]
20250904 Spinner: Front Mandible PCB ver 02
I can’t remember when was the last time I’ve made a real custom PCB to actually fit the internal shape of a model. If memory serves me right, it could be the Warhammer Stormfang and that would be around 10 years ago. But that was just a plain simple rectangle. This time, the challenge is […]
