ARG! ok. I need to be wordy. I can't help it. It's an affliction (like an elf affliction warlock, which as far as I can tell is a witchy sort of guy who's literally sick of elves). anyway. Well, actually I suppose I don't have much to say for once. Except that all this stuff is gonna go on the inside of the crawler, and the lego parts are for a conveyor belt system to be run by the motor. Gonna be FUN to build!
Hey, did you get any high voltage capacitors in your box? Specifically any 220 Ohm 450V ones? I know I got one of those in each box... If you got some or similar, I'd be interested in buying them off you for a reasonable price.
I'll look and get back to you - I'm probably going to dump the box out tonight and try and sort everything...
Finally got around to this. I didn't peruse the box super carefully, but after a cursory examination it doesn't look like I have any high volt caps in there. Lots and lots and LOTS of low volt ones though. :DQuote:

I'll have those old paper caps ready to send to you soon; I'm finishing up on my last radio today.
Nominated on bit-tech, I voted for ya artoo :), for me this latest round up it came between this & the mech robot, mech robot gets 2nd for me, was a tough choice tbh :).
I'm nominated on bit-tech? what for? sorta haven't looked at it in a week or so LOL (thanks for the vote :D )
*Edit - sweet :D mod of the month...I'd appreciate any votes y'all are willing to give me! And Waynio, I can appreciate the difficulty deciding between me and that Mech, that thing's AWESOME.

Congrats on the nomination!! You can count with my vote!! You've got the hell of a work there!
ooook....so. It's been awhile since I last updated this. Didn't really mean to leave it hanging, but life got busy the last couple months. First we took a trip to Italy, and while there I availed myself of the opportunity to propose here, just below the Piazzale Michelangelo south of Florence, with a view of the city:
Another view from the Piazzale. Did I mention I popped the question at sunset? :D
And just to prove we were really there :)
Needless to say, it was a fantastic trip and very exciting! However...3 days after we got back I got laid off from the environmental consulting firm I worked for, and since they are going out of business, I didn't get paid for any of my vacation time. On top of that, we've also started wedding planning, which of course is quite the time hog.
I'm slowly adjusting to being unemployed and job hunting, but it hit me today that I really need to get myself on some kind of schedule, and working on the inside of my crawler for a few hours a week (at least) is going to be part of that schedule. Which brings me to these next pics. I know it's not the best update ever, but I decided (while my fiancee was on the phone with her parents discussing wedding stuff) to at least get the lego technics tank tracks put together. These will become conveyor belts inside the upper section of the crawler. I also took pics of the bags of goodies that will constitute the interior...er..."decoration" of the model. More to come soon....
All the various track sections laid out on my desk, along with a few wheels. These'll all be combined into 2 or 3 tracks total I think. Depends on how well it all fits in there.
The bookcase where I'm storing all the stuff. The A-wing is one of the newer toys, and is only there because I stuck a small fan in the space on my desk where it used to be. I'm in southern CA, and it's been 100 degrees here the last couple weeks. I *am* planning on using the TIE fighter model somehow. It's one of those old Ertl kits.
Closeups of the various bits:
Congrats on the proposal in a romantic place mate :).
Sucks about being laid off thou, hope you get sorted soon bud.
So, the build is back on :).
