In Part Five of my Enterprise D Model Remodel journey, we complete the electronics and lighting of the Saucer section. This includes adding custom light circuits, attaching our electronics to custom 3D-printed mounts, and finishing up the rest of the wiring. I also added another Arduino page about how to add sounds/music to our project!

Iron Man Issues 35-38
In Issues 35-38 of our Iron Man Mk III Armor partwork build, we attach the Lower Left Leg and begin assembly of our Left Thigh assembly!
Enterprise Remodel Pt. 4
In Part Four of my Enterprise D Model Remodel adventure, we fully modify the Battle Section Neck and I share more information about using Arduino including Custom Functions, Booleans, Dimming LEDs, and how to switch high currents. I also included a third Lighting Test video which shows some new features I have added as well as a sneak preview of the mobile app I have been working on!
Ladder 9 Stages 31-37
Pack 5 containing Stages 31-37 of our 1:24 scale FDNY Tower Ladder 9 model includes many more Storage Compartments, the Front Right Stabilizer, more of the rear Box Frame, and another rear Wheel!
Iron Man Issues 31-34
We finally complete the Left Knee Joint and can move on the Left Hip and Left Thigh with Issues 31-34 of our Iron Man Mk III Armor partwork build!
Ladder 9 Lighting Mod
I was disappointed with the stock lighting of my FDNY Tower Ladder 9 fire truck, so I have been doing my own thing. Using the great components from Light My Bricks, I have been heavily modifying the lighting throughout the build. Of course, I have been documenting the progress and am sharing it with you all!
Enterprise Remodel Pt. 3
Part Three of my Model Remodel series of articles is now available for the Eaglemoss 1:900 scale U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork build. This part includes learning about using LEDs, resistors, and a bunch of Arduino pages. I delve into creating our first sketch, first circuit, using variables and if/else statements, as well as adding event timing and infrared remote control!
T-800 Power Mod
Our good friends over at Model Modz have released their new Terminator Power Mod for our T-800 endoskeleton partwork model!
Finally, we never have to deal with changing batteries in the head or base ever again. I could not wait to install it!
Enterprise Remodel Pt. 2
Part Two of my Model Remodel series of articles is now available for the Eaglemoss 1:900 scale U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork build. This part includes my modifications to the Bridge/Deck Two windows, a new Beacon Light, re-lighting the Warp Nacelles, and reassembly of the upper saucer while eliminating light leaks!
Ladder 9 Stages 24-30
Pack 4 containing Stages 24-30 of our 1:24 scale FDNY Tower Ladder 9 model arrived, so we were able to build out the Body Midsection with Outriggers and started construction of the rear Box Frame!
