OHH KAYY then.

So I missed the spooky time of the year. It matters not, the uniform alone turned heads at work. But now is the time to move on to completing the pack and wand. firstly I've taken the wand kit bought from Nick-A-Tron props and assembled it.

A few hours of painting and waiting and we have this..

Now then... Electronics...

Here's a test video of the electronics kit for both the pack and wand...

I started by sticking the main pack lights in roughly and testing what they might look like. it's starting to go well..

so knowing that it looks ok I get back to the wand itself.

I decided to use 1.5mm 4 core flex to bring power and sound the the switches here. it's a complete mess. Using a continuity test on my electrician's mate the voltage meter I tested each circuit from switch to switch making sure sound tracks did not mix with power tracks. that would be lethal to the sound board...

YAY most of it finally installed! well everything except the yellow power bar. Still need to hookup the power tracks for it before it goes in.

Power lines now installed and the sound cables set in place. I put the last of the kit together and took a short video.

==============================================================

NOW with that done time to put a bit more into the main pack. I started by giving the main parts and backing new coats of paint, adding a new style vacuum line hose and adding some extra parts...
