I've been following your progress. Very impressive, as always.
Please add me to the list for a full kit.
If you end up doing finished builds, I'd love to commission you to build my kit, so put me on that list, too, if such a list ever comes to exist.
Hey Joe. Do you have a link for a rechargeable battery as I can’t seem to find one with those dimensions here in the UK.
Hi I’m on the fence as I’m just unsure if what level of work will have to be done to the kit to get it looking like the prop. I’m not very experienced in prop building or painting etc, but would you mind just listing the high level things a buyer would need to do to get it just right
Well, you'd need some general knowledge about building/painting model kits. More of the parts will be 'ready to assemble' aside from a little sanding to clean up support 'dimples', optimize fitting and prep for paint. A couple 3mm-4mm metal tubes and/or pins will need to be cut, as well as the circuitboard for the display (which sounds a lot scarier than it is). I suppose the most 'difficult' thing is that you need (very) basic soldering skills to put the electronics together.
It might fit, but it's 3mm thicker than the measurements I've been counting on. There is a little extra space in there, but since I haven't done a build with all the electronics yet I don't know exactly how cramped it is. (And there's no way to get inside and measure, haha.) I also can't tell what connector it has from the photo. (You want the connector that works with Adafruit stuff.)
