Easter Sunday 2020

Easter Sunday and our traditional egg fights around the dining table. ET did her bit and they are ready where is everyone ???

Batman lights - second lot (part 6)

Installing KOBE's led strip lights, this will be finished around lunchtime tomorrow at which time I'll happily contact the customer who is coming from Geelong to collect.

This is the 2nd time doing the USB version so it's easier going in particular mounting the IR controller.

Doing a lighting test before I spray the back panel and complete this one. Then onto the KOBE one.

 

Batman lights - some thoughts.

Lately when falling asleep I'm counting bats as they fly over the bed...hmm.

While making all these bats I'm thinking to make some fundamental changes on how I offer the product - for sale.

The battery version is a complicated build process and (putting aside the Chinavirus thing) those RGB LED strip lights are only available from China which is normally 3 weeks plus.

I can source the USB version locally from Kmart and a eBay supplier located in Glen Iris !!!

So...I’m thinking maybe drop the battery version and only offer USB with two options:

USB cable customer provides 5V @ 2A power source

rechargeable version using a flat Powerbank with price increase from $50 - $70 to cover the extra costs.

Morning session continue on with NOAH and KOBE. First time doing the USB version so I'll need to do a set of drawings.

Cleaned up Noah with files and sandpaper ready for painting and while that's drying cut out the Kobe letters.

Continued on with NOAH and KOBE.




Prepping the templates; usual thing first lay down masking tape – with overlap !
Took a while for me to work out why there was always lines across the face after the paint had dried caused by butting rather than overlapping the masking tape.
