Excellent video David. It was great to see the star in action, after you bought it to the mini last year. I think a lot of new people will find this very helpful. Shane.

Cheers Shane, yes really pleased with how the old star worked out. Highly recommend if anyone has some old wireframe props to add some pixels, gives them a whole new life and you can do so much more with them.


I hope some new folks do find the video useful, I know when I was first learning some stuff made sense when I read it but other things I just had to see before it clicked for me.


How did your dalek mini trees work over Christmas? Those things were great at the mini.

The trees were great, I was really happy, when I had notes from people left in the letter box, about my show. I ended up writing the words to jingle bells also on the trees. One family sat in their car for half an hour and then knocked on my door to say thanks. I was wrapped.

One couple drove over from Berwick three times with the kids and we're dancing around the front for ages.

I'm now working what to add next year.

No, unfortunately the metal stars are not available anymore. Wish they were, I'd make some more.

Keep your eyes peeled on Kmart around September. That's when the Christmas range is usually hitting stores

Where did you get the vent covers that are on the front of your plastic power injection boxes ?

This is the outlet vent on the front https://www.switchesplus.com.au/det...ey-ABS-Fits-all-Hi-Box-products?r=accessories
There's also 2 of these inlets on the side https://www.switchesplus.com.au/det...ey-ABS-Fits-all-Hi-Box-products?r=accessories

Cheers for that. I have had no luck finding anything. Ended up using a couple of https://www.bunnings.com.au/haron-150-x-100mm-silver-aluminium-pressed-wall-vent_p0810821. Yours look more efficient.

Hi Drakky, just read this now, sorry I must have missed it when you posted.
My stars are packed away and hard to get to but 280mm sounds about right. Does anyone have one of the Kmart metal stars on hand to measure, feel free to chime in.
Template looks great, keen to see the finished product, keep us posted.
