This is my build of the Chaos Agent.  I am happy to be able to post a working build after my last setback (still debugging that Naughty Fish).  I may add some more paint pen to the enclosure eventually if I can think of a name or anything to draw.

Jimilee inspired me with his recent builds to use a white pen on this.

I just got tired of the the whole decal process for a a while, and I don't want to take the time to do it.  Looks fantastic!

It's quite freeing, tossing fancy labeling out of the way (this build is for me to play around with anyway).  I had this candy teal enclosure for quite awhile, not knowing what to do with it.  I didn't want to mess it up poorly applied clear coat.  Paint markers were the answer I didn't know I was looking for. Sometimes simplicity is inspiring.   ;D

I reserve the right to change my mind on this design (with acrylic paint pens, it is easy), but I added a name, and I will see if it grows on me.

I like that a lot.  Plus the color on the box is stupid pretty.  I write like a 4 year old so my lettering leaves a LOT to be desired.  You've even got your sig logo in there, very nice.

Thanks!
The box is candy teal from smallbear, by the way.  I don't know if they'll ever get them back in stock.

For posterity (and in case I lose my notes):
I used 2N2222A transistors (different from the ones in the original gut shot).  They measured:
Q1 = 96
Q2 = 145
Q3 = 210

I like using google notes or sheets for an extra level of backup for my notes. Free and will "always" be there. Plus. I lose stuff a ton lol.

Damn, that thing looks super clean! The hand-drawn lettering really matches the vibe of the originals, and the white paint really pops against that beautiful teal enclosure. I wish my handwriting was half as good as yours! Excellent work!

Thanks!  That writing took lots of touch-up and revision.  It is easy to correct/tweak acrylic paint pen with either alcohol or a hobby knife.
