Thought i would start on my belt gizmo as im waiting for my pack lights to turn up. I ordered most of the parts for the belt gizmo last year when i started on my pack.
I ordered the resin kit from Nick-a-tron. It was the later version he was selling with the nixie tube holders.
this is the kit as received from nick. excellent kit for the price.
Also went to maplins and picked up a pack of various resistors so i could add them to the board. Ordered the nixie tubes off ebay from a seller in Russia.
You buy them in a set of 9 if i remember enough for the belt gizmo.
started off by drilling 1.5-2mm holes in the daughter boarder for the resistors to fit into.
Here are the resistors fitted. they are only pushed in at the moment just to try for fit and to how it looks as i need to paint it yet.
also did the same on the main circuit board. drilled the holes for the resistors
again the resistors just placed in to see what they look like
a very boring job drilling the holes but it needs to be done. I used various pictures from other members builds for ideas and positions of the resistors.
will be picking some paint up tomorrow so i can start to paint the circuit boards over the weekend.
