Welcome back to my long running tradition of building kits every week in December.
This time I start our with an ultrasonic levitation kit that doesn't turn out as well as hoped, so I redeemed myself with another fun little kit.


If you want your very own kit to try out:
The first kit: pileofstuff.ca/r/ks0yp
