Here’s my second build for my uniform. It’s based on the Nick-A-Tron kit, using real Nixie tubes, wire and resistors, and 3D printed disc capacitors, transistors, error block internals and cable connection cover/electronic thingy. Finally it got mounted in a Keymaster props holster. The daughter board is a POTS splitter devoid of its casing and epoxied to a 3D printed belt clip… Anyway, herewith the build: Basic components.. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/9/09146ae3366aed6e535beb50fc185b3fd86e09d9.jpeg) Test fitting.. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/d/6df9ea56af3f6d3e8ef58acea31233417cc3f662.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/6/56efdc7c18a0458f1cd94996cac7daa47e879476.jpeg) I put a base coat of Vallejo model air green primer on first ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/4/f41028d32def01ff2468ca75421cee1842363726.jpeg) Followed by airbrushed Vallejo Luftwaffe black green and a useless attempt at hand painting the circuitry. Note the edges were done in a sand colour ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/6/16c40c457ec9064aeac42e4c798d6aa98d232229.jpeg) Screw it.. I downloaded and printed the circuitry and pasted it on the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard), making sure I cut voids for the moulded on detail ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/9/a935c60fd52c68cdddf86832786dfc75722fb696.jpeg) Further detail painting using more Vallejo paints. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/3/1/31e20378fa6b2f9e9b4df5bce415d6aa685c8650.jpeg) Belt clip installed on the daughter board ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/3/0393eff95633a045c7a92a2bfa8ca230ff285ff2.jpeg) All components installed ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/2/02da024e8bb47d11707333d9afcc6d7cc276c645.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/9/99b5ac9231fcc8c8faa526310a111561e1fe032e.jpeg) And finally installed in the Keymaster props holster ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/f/bf205b1d52b60944c1742a87b2d737cd974ea45d.jpeg) ---

Just got my Nick-a-tron kit and I will be using your post as a guide. You did an awesome job! What did you use to make the holes for the nixie tube wires? Just a really small drill bit? ---

Fantastic work! But where do you get the nixie tubes and what size is needed? Thanks!
