Dear kit builders/gunpla enjoyers,
I need help for a short detective story. What would drive a gunpla enjoyer to murder? (Premeditated or a fight that got out of hand.)

To be clear this is all fictional!!! You would never!!!!

Thank you in advance, NullNoMore

Update: Today I mounted a folding frame that holds the instructions to the front of the vending machine. I corrected the offset of the coin slot cutout in the drawing to the final position. Now only the upper part of the poster is missing.

I think I never had a project for the #congress ready in mid October. 🤔

I'm working on designing the front of the vending machine. I opted for a comic style design explaining the kit and how to operate the machine itself. Not finished yet. But... I love it already!

I'll add a folding aluminum frame to the front, so I can swap the sign easily for other events or kits. Size is A3.

My SO helped out yesterday picking and packing trap kits. I have plenty in stock now! https://n7komportableradio.etsy.com/listing/1595257587

Grabbed two quick pokemon kits from con yesterday and they were quick fun build.

Got someone in your life who would benefit from a trapped antenna? I'm running a promo on my QRP Trap kits for Fathers Day. Use code FATHERSDAY2024.

While working on assembling my radio kit, I was reminded of something I use that is retroactively obvious. A magnifier headlamp. Pictured. Like 20 bucks on Amazon, five different sets of lenses of various powers, LED light, seems to be pretty well constructed. The same headlamp seems to be sold under several different brands. If you're bifocals have more focal lengths than your radio has bands you need these. I waited far too long. Once you have them all kinds of uses. #t41 #kitbuilding #oldeyes

For those of you following along on the construction of my t41 SDR radio kit. I completed the power module. A very small step, but a significant one. And there's a substitute part that has several versions of the instructions of what to do with it the contradict each other. #t41 #sdr #hamradio #kitbuilding

NS-40 transmitter by NM0S. The kit costs $25, takes about an hour to assemble, and pumps out 5-10 watts, depending on volts in. Old Ten-Tec serves as receiver, and Pacific Antenna's Easy TR Switch -- another great kit -- shifts the antenna to TX on key-down.

Note my old Novice code key in there, too. Because this rig recaptures the joy of radio.

All the smoke stayed in the QDX! If only I had an antenna at home to test it out.

I had to get a little creative for the case. #HamRadio #kitbuilding #qrplabs #QDX #workbench #qrp

Going to start the QDX kit this week. Should I build the 12v or 9v version? 12v seems more versatile since that's pretty standard for most DC. 9v would be an ultra portable option. #HamRadio #KitBuilding

Good news is, I suppose, it looks like the trace for that connection is on the bottom of the board, which appeared undamaged.

So perhaps I have a configuration issue, and not physical damage to the board to contend with.

#QDX #KitBuilding #mistakes

Argh! I am nearly done with the #QDX build but I have found my mistake - I accidentally put one of the capacitors in the wrong set of holes! (C14 in the antenna shield/center pin, for those familiar with the kit).

So I will now need to lay hands on a hot air re-work station, and probably source a couple replacement caps since I doubt I'll be re-using the one I made the mistake on. So close to completion!

#electronics #KitBuilding

Received a QRP-labs QDX kit for Christmas, and sitting down to start on it. So far I've sorted parts and started winding the toroids.

I'm going to build it for 12v, and 80/60/40/30/20 operation. I can always rewind a couple of toroids if I want to change it up later.

Completed a TNC-Pi kit. #hamradio #KitBuilding #APRS #packetradio #RaspberryPi

Starting on this #Pixie kit. Instruction sheet reads like a BOM: It's just a text document with each component and the corresponding screen print designation. But the PCB is very well printed. #DIY #KitBuilding #hamradio
