Batman Limited Edition prototype Part 1A

He's big...54 x 32cm and comes with new features; onboard rechargeable battery (5000 mAh PowerBank) and RF wireless remote control (no line-of-sight issues)

Well fed...grown to 54cm x 32cm

Say hello to Sprocket

He is helping his owner (our younger daughter) to cope with self isolation...

Batman lights–the dummy battery box.

To save a few dollars I am now making my own dummy battery boxes.

Why two battery boxes...???

There is no room to mount the 3 x AA battery box in the centre of the back and...have it recessed to reduce the depth because there is LED strip in there to illuminate the name letters. The only spot is on one of the wings which would unbalance the light so I have opted for a 2nd (dummy) battery box that holds three spare batteries - on the other wing.

Gardening–time to catch-up

Finally made time to prune the garden arbor plus some other nearby shrubs around the cottage garden.

Batman lights - second lot (part 8)

Just came in from the workshop after doing a Friday night overtime stint - golly gosh.

 

Worth the effort (and besides no Friday night footy) because another bat is ready to be released tomorrow morning in the direction of Tarneit 3029.

Order for LED strip lights

To short !!!...the last two sets of RGB LED strip kits that arrived are only 1M; they should have been 2M length. Contacted the supplier to complain and they say that's what I ordered - doubt that. To busy now so I'll think about that and follow-up later.

That's only 1M on that spool and the code has the _2 on the end.
Furthermore the 2M length fills the whole spool!

Batman lights - second lot (part 7)

From yesterday stuck down the templates onto the MDF blanks for cutting out. Trim off the main excess on the 14" band saw, then some more on the 8" band saw then the rest on the scroll saw.

Templates are stuck onto the MDF blanks.
