Thanks for the comments guys. Now that my hands are almost back to normal I can start modeling again. I have since upgraded this Tric as well. I ditched the two 6v batteries. One was running the large board and the other was running the smaller boards with a common ground for all the boards. The boards just drained the batteries to quick. I switched to a single 9v battery instead. This really boosted the intensity of the lights! I also had to add a larger speaker to handle the jump in power. The 9v blew that little one right away. The run time is also much better now as well.
I have to finish a project for a member of another forum first and then back to my stuff. Staying with the ST theme, I want to do a hero cricket phaser from TNG. Kits pop up on the Bay from time to time for hollow kits. There is also a great tutorial for adding the electronics from the enormous Playmates version to it. Surprisingly, it will fit!
But the first order of buisness will be to finish my SD! I should have the custom wood stand soon as well.
