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. šŸ¤”

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.

Photograph of the vending machine with a mockup label on it saying "build your own morse code trainer and receiver" and all kind of images explaining how it works and how the vending machine needs to be operated. Layout in comic style.Detail image of the label showing the content of the three different drawers. Also a qr code with link to the code. And payment details of the vending machine accepting 4 euros.detail image of the sign saying "2.4 gigacycles" in a comic style star with pink background and the word "exiting!" underneath in comic font.

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

Picture of a magnifying headlamp with interchangeable lenses. Good for close in work.

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

Picture of a small power supply circuit board, hopefully correctly assembled.

Just a quick hello and introduction post. Checking out mastodon and the ham radio one for the first time. Love the format and structure.

Been a ham since early 2022 and getting more into #portableops and #sota this year. Super fun to reach a summit and set up a field station, make contacts. Getting me back into the outdoors and learning again. Looking forward to doing more #antenna building and #kitbuilding over the winter as well, learning #cw, etc.

Here's my #introduction to hams.social! I moved from mastodon.radio to my own self hosted server then to here. The fun of maintaining the server wore off. Anyway my interests are:

#KitBuilding (currently QMX)
#3dPrinting
#3dDesign
#POTA
#Portable ham radio
digital modes like #ft8 #js8 #psk31
#CWOps
#MoreseCode

to name a few. I'll be posting mainly pics of POTA activations and kits I'm working on. Maybe some cats. I look forward to settling in to my new fedi-home!

Would someone like to help me spend money on some good solder?

I just ordered a the new QRP Labs QMX kit and I know from building the QCX Mini in Feburary that I'm going to run out of the solder I have before I can complete the QMX. I think I'd prefer something thinner, I had been using 0.8mm diameter, and to get a big spool that I can put in a desktop dispenser.

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.

I’m fairly proud of the knob I came up with. Fits perfectly on the potentiometer shaft and has a nice feel to it. I’m not sure this is any improvement over the Dragonfly Red by itself but the end goal is to find a good amp design as the base to build the cross feed circuit on.

Judith Edge Hunslet 325hp 0-6-0DH 7mm progress. Body almost complete. Cab roof shaped and soldered into place, rainstrips added over cabside windows. Horn in place (on long bonnet end), windscreen wipers added. Just need to make access door and cab door handles.

Judith Edge Hunslet 325hp 0-6-0DH 7mm progress. Body almost complete. Noses joined to cab via the eight locations pins and a soak of solder between cab and faceplates. Cab roof to shape. Window surrounds soldered into place. Body is not yet attached to footplate and a boil, dry and undercoat. Probably paint before attaching as lights need to be fitted and wiring done ready to wire into decoder.
